I gave my opinion just like you and I guess you missed the part where I said I could be wrong. This team lost a lot of pieces so his role could change.
Wasn't trying to offend you. I'm just saying that him not starting wouldn't have anything to do with him not being good enough. I'd have him as the safest bet for best player on the team, but some guys just do really well off the bench. If he's willing to accept the role then I could definitely see it happening with JD and Shack back in the fold.
Oats has shown that he likes to start games with defensive intensity and JD has a much better chance of providing that. It's also great to have the offensive spark-plug off the bench which Quinerly provides in spades.
I'll caveat this by saying I have zero confidence in projecting the starting lineup at any position, but it seems crazy to me that people think there's no chance JQ isn't starting because he was so great last year even though he didn't start last year when he was at his best. We didn't even have a good PG option at the time like we do now. I just think people overrate the starting status is all.

Oats was quoted as saying who starts doesn’t matter at all, it’s who is going to get the most minutes and at crucial junctures in the game
