Casey's become pretty experimental in his lineups, but he seems to prioritize ball-handling (part of the minimal-turnover philosophy behind this team's offense). Right now I'm not sure he'll use Wright a lot as the only real ball-handler in a lineup... just like VanVleet: other than pure garbage-time minutes, he's almost always been on the floor with Lowry or Joseph. I think Ibaka, Carroll/Patterson, Powell, Wright, Lowry/Joseph are more likely versions of this lineup.
