Should Josh Childress be the starter?

Go check out this article at the Wages of Wins blog. The author makes the point that Josh Childress's value is greater than Marvin Williams's value (true), and that Childress not starting is an marker of disrespect (perhaps).

It is true the Marvin starts, but Childress ends up with more minutes. He stays in as the sub for both Josh Smith and Marvin Williams. It could be argued that Childress’ value is inflated because he plays against the opposing teams’ 2nd string more often, but having a player than can regular lead your bench to produce more than the opposing bench is a different kind of value than who should start. If Childress were to start then his value would drop, but it doesn’t necessarily guarantee that Marvin Williams could provide more value playing against 2nd stringers.

In the long run, this team is invested enough in Marvin that he will get the starts and the minutes in order to help accelerate his growth as a player. This strategy seems to be paying off, as Marvin “Sexual Healing” Williams has been getting better this season.
