There's a screen set a little too late.

The projected starting five of Jalen Suggs, Desmond Bain, Franz Wagner, Paolo Bancaro, Wendell Carter Jr.
has appeared in only 11 games together for a total of 117 minutes.

So that's an incredibly effective lineup.
In some ways, it's been fool's gold because none of the big three for them have remained healthy.
