Moving Jones to the bench

I might actually try Harrell with the starting group, if things don’t pick up here quickly. And that might seem like an overreaction to his play, and to Jones’, but it wouldn’t be intended as a response to each player’s performance thus far. Jones historically, or at least last year, has fared better coming off the bench, seemingly playing with more energy. Harrell, as we’ve seen, already brings it, and might serve to jump start the starting unit. They’ve looked completely dead, and the switch might jump start Jones as well. There aren’t really many options for moving parts around with Harden, Howard, and Ariza already entrenched.
