Agree with your assessments of Barea and "small ball" but I haven't gotten the impression that health is why Barea is sitting. I think they are consciously transitioning Brunson into his role, and the fact that neither Wright nor Curry were a fit in the starting lineup has created a guard logjam with the 2nd unit.
