Starting
PG - Kemba (probably needs to be on a less reliant team where he can shine in spot minutes)
SG - Fournier (not his fault but needs to be surrounded with tougher/defensive players to hide his limitations)
SF - RJ (struggling but he's our future at the moment - maybe he was better at the SG with Bullock helping more defensively)
PF - Randle (needs to play faster and make quicker decisions - not sure his default won't always be ISO/hold the ball)
C - Mitch (will be fine as seems to still be out of shape/recovering from his injuries)
Bench
PG - Rose (perfect role for his age, passing and leadership)
SG - IQ (perfect role as he's streaky)
SF - Burks (perfect instant offense - our microwave)
PF - Toppin (plays very well with Rose and IQ)
C - Noel (perfect backup center)
We actually have a perfect bench and a so so starting five that may improve as season goes on. We can't fix the starting lineup by taking our bench players and making them the starters (just moving a problem for a problem). I really think we need a better PG as it did help Randle (and the team) when Kemba handles the ball more. Kemba just looks like he can only play 1 game per week these days. Hard not to look back at Ball who is doing great things with Chicago.
I would give time to gel through February as I do think it's a bit early to do anything drastic. That said - if we are still bottom half defensively in mid-February - I think it's worth considering going for Damian Lillard or a significant PG upgrade. At some point the build around Randle experiment will have to show something or time to shift the focal point. Toppin may never replicate Randle's production but in the end it's how the team performs in terms of win/losses.
Let's hope these five improve their chemistry and defense. Don't care if our record hovers around .500% - key is we need to get much better defensively.
