The issue is three games in three days. Older players take longer to recover and if you're a big with a history of knee problems recovery is a must! Short of changing the format which would prefer. (Playing Friday night and again Saturday at noon is crazy.) The coach has to plan his minutes around his rest and recovery program. This means you probably want to start Watkins of AO not because he is younger because he is not, but he has better knees and can hold up a little better. Personally I think starting Watkins and Hak together makes more sense anyway because Watkins can score off put backs and dump offs from from Hak's  post ups. Hak in the high post and Watkins in the low post. Then you can play AO with BJ and space the floor playing 4 around 1, AO in the post with shooters all around. Not one of these teams had a player that can guard AO one on one in the post. Lastly having the big team is only an advantage if you can control the pace of the game. Everybody is going to try and get into the legs of the bigs by running them. If you're going to play big you have to play smart and that starts with the coach followed by guards.
