Starting him doesn't necessarily mean he has to play more minutes. Personally, I think Hawes is a better fit starting next to Thompson than coming off the bench next to Bennett. He and Bennett do a lot of the same things well, particularly the high pick-and-pop, so it makes sense to split them up as much as possible while Varejao is out.
only problem is Bennett isn't doing any picking and popping. All he's on the court doing is setting picks and know one passing him the ball when wide open. Hawes looks to be doing what Andy does at the free throw line and elbow...which is keep pump faking at the 3pt line instead of taking the wide open shot.
