Mobley looking great early.
Wade and LeVert starting in place of Allen and Garland. JBB likes to keep certain guys in their specific roles. Wants Niang, Jerome, Jones, and Okoro coming off the bench as they will be the entire season
Willing to disrupt LeVert and Wade’s usual roles because they’ve been with the team multiple years and have already been through the ringer of adjusting to multiple roles.
It is possible though that this is a sign Wade is ahead of Jones in the planned normal rotation but I wouldn’t be certain of that.
