I know developmentally it is not ideal - but Horford gets Toppin's minutes - and much of Taj's as well.
And then Noel's minutes when Mitch returns.
Seems pointless.
Knix need 3-point shooting/spacing in the starting lineup.
Starting Horford could make sense to open driving lanes for RJB, Elf, Randle.
But then you relegate Mitch to the bench, squeeze Toppings, lose Knox and reduce Taj's role.
Seems a lot of harm to yute for ol' Horford.
Does Horford really get you a deeper playoff run?
