This is vaguely based on the rotation from last year.
The general idea of the rotation is to have a balanced line-up on the floor at all times.
This means certain elements of the team are staggered.
In terms of on-ball offensive creation, D’Angelo and Reaves are mostly staggered outside of a few short bursts of time together.
In terms of a go-to scoring option, this team has plenty now. But, there are always at least 2 of D’Angelo, Reaves, LeBron, AD, and Rui on the floor and mostly 3 of them on the floor together.
In terms of shooting, there are at least 3 shooters on the floor (assuming LeBron recovers as a 3pt shooter) with a 4th player that is at least capable of shooting the 3 (assuming AD recovers somewhat as a 3pt shooter).
In terms of PoA defense, one of Vanderbilt, Vincent, or Christie are on the floor to cover that outside of a flexible 4 minute closing line-up.
The 1st and 2nd halves are built on the same general structure. The 2nd half is modified to give the team line-up flexibility down the closing stretch. While I have Prince listed here in the closing line-up, easy adjustments can be made to allow Vanderbilt, Hachimura, or Prince to close the game.

I think AD/Hayes or AD/Wood lineups are inevitable.
