Maxey will never be able to rebound.

I took the coach's tendencies into account when I recommended starting Maxiell... just because it is a more realistic option based on the trust he has built. Maxiell has his limitations, but he is also going to have them coming off the bench. When you say he's a poor rebounder, I think you mean that he's a poor defensive rebounder. And that is the basis of my theory... to match a strong defensive rebounder with a weak one, and vise versa for the offensive rebounding (Sheed's weakness).
I'd like to say Amir to start, but it's just premature right now. He's barely played at all, so it would just be pure fantasy. Next year that would be a great option if he can fully emerge as a contributor this year and into the playoffs.
