I like the idea of starting Amir. Last season we had a problem with slow first quarters. Amir would give the first unit some athleticism and energy. Sheed can take the 5 on defence with Amir giving weak side help with his quickness.

If Amir manages to get a couple of early fouls which wouldn't surprise me early on until the refs cut him some slack, that's when Dice could come in. Dice would still get to play his preferred position coming off the bench.
