You're looking at Aaron Gordon and Nick Johnson no longer in an Arizona uniform. Kaleb Tarczewski is pretty much coming back. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is now a step closer to coming back.
The lineup could look like this in 2014-15:
PG - T.J. McConnell
SG - Gabe York
SF - Stanley Johnson
PF - Brandon Ashley
C - Kaleb Tarczewski
Or this:
PG - T.J. McConnell
SG - Kadeem Allen
SF - Stanley Johnson
PF - Brandon Ashley
C - Kaleb Tarczewski
Or this:
PG - T.J. McConnell
SG - Stanley Johnson
SF - Rondae Hollis-Jefferson
PF - Brandon Ashley
C - Kaleb Tarczewski
Hollis-Jefferson is essentially going to be treated like Kevin Parrom, another person who did a great job off the bench and could very easily have been a starter. Hollis-Jefferson is just a better, more athletic version of that but without Parrom's shooting ability.
It may come down to how Sean Miller wants to use Johnson and where he wants to play him primarily. His body is better suited to be a small forward and slide over to power forward. But he can shoot it from the outside at a dependable rate, unlike the case with Gordon.
