It's time to start Kyle Korver

BRILLIANT! Got to have your Brewer out there at the same as your Boozer

Yeah, I think so. Also I like Brewer's good shot selection and finishing ability. This way, the Bulls would have:

2 great finishers (Rose & Brewer),
2 decent slashers with the ball (Rose & Brewer),
2 great cutters off-the-ball (Brewer & Korver),
and 2 very decent shooters (Rose & Korver)

on the floor at the same time.

Boozer+Korver+Brewer all play well together in the half-court offense (with the give-and-go and back screens/the baseline) and would spread the floor for Rose and Boozer to work the set screen plays in the pick-and-roll/pop.

Noah would have a field day with offensive rebounds, too.

Deng in that 2nd unit looks scary, too.

I'm actually okay with the way it is now though. Bogans only playing like 16 min/game isn't that bad when he gets most of them out of the way in the 1st quarter. It also allows Korver and Brewer to come in the game with Rose later on - providing an offensive spark) via steals and transition shots/three's.

Luol Deng is most effective offensively in the first half, so I definitely don't mind him starting either.

Honestly, I like this starting lineup:

G - Rose
G - Brewer
F - Korver
F - Boozer
C - Noah

2nd unit:

G - Watson
G - Bogans
F - Deng
F - Gibson
C - Asik

Removing Deng from starting lineup for Korver is a bad idea. Deng is arguably our best defender, not to mention a better offensive weapon, who's shooting 38% from 3. Brewer is the only player who makes sense there right now because of his defense, athleticism, & ability to push the break. Korver is not going to be starting now or anytime in the future. Bogans is the player who needs to fade from view. He was a starter out of sheer necessity & now that need is filled with Brewer's return to health. Give Watson & Korver the rest of Bogans minutes & start Brewer.

Yeah, honestly my top 3 choices for starting lineups would be:

1) Rose-Brewer-Deng-Boozer-Noah
2) Rose-Bogans-Deng-Boozer-Noah (the way it is now)
3) Rose-Brewer-Korver-Boozer-Noah

I'd only be willing to put Korver in the starting lineup if Brewer was playing next to him. Brewer complements Korver well, and is a very good defensive player (much like Deng) except gambles a little more, isn't as strong, but is much faster, and (like you implied) is a great fast break player.

I want Brewer to start instead. Korver's not a better defender, plus we can use more scoring off the bench. But, we definitely can agree on the fact that Bogans should sit, he has been so disappointing.

korver isn't scoring well of the bench. he's shooting like 2- 10. The whole point of starting korver is that we're misusing him as a bench player.
