I don't know about that... We've gotten used to the idea that or guards should be really tall because of the zone. Mintz, Starling and Moore would go 6'4" 6'4" 6'3" across the top of the key.

We would have Copeland and Taylor, both 6'6"ish as the backups. If we have trouble with size in a given game, we can put another 6'8" forward out there instead of a guard for a stretch.

The key would be good ball pressure and excellent rebounding from the two big men. Hima might be up to the task, but Williams/Brown/Bell might not rebound well enough to make it viable.

Depending on the center situation, with Hima fouling or every 22 minutes on average last season, Brown might get his minutes in a three forward lineup with him in the middle against smaller teams.

I'd really love it if Mintz and Starling play with a traditional lineup most of the time, with Copeland and Taylor rotating in at the 3 once in a while to keep their minutes up. I have little faith in Carey or Patterson to provide solid minutes next year.
