I'm not quite sure how this is relevant.  JGIII definitely seemed the best equipped to get immediate time at PG once the JC Experiment Part II ended.  That was a completely understandable decision by JB IMO.

We needed a steadying influence there.  JGIII provided that, and a bit more offensive firepower.  Additionally, the drop off athletically between he and HoWa is negligible at best.  His hands were a bit tied. 
I think HoWa could have been integrated a tad bit more, and nobody could be worse defensively than JGIII, so we do get some trade-off advantages, but I didn't see it as all that substantial other than for giving JGIII a breather here or there.

I'm not sure Goodine was even in the PG equation early on, but could likely have taken a few minutes.  Still, much like JC, I wouldn't have wanted him there as it's a lot to take on as your developing....JGIII is a bit more of a finished product offensively so, you gotta roll with him.

As to shooting guard...I won't comment.  :)  I don't think JB has a flipping clue what he's doing with that position other than he seems to find it to be rather unimportant - perhaps even less so than having a Center.
