The guards we have going into the season right now are: Jrue, Lonzo, Redick, Moore, NAW, and Jackson.
I haven't done any serious analysis on this yet, but just on instinct I feel like rolling out Lonzo with Redick and Moore could help open up the offense with a little more spacing. Similarly, you could put out a lineup with Jrue, Lonzo, and Redick if you wanted to maximise defensive versatility while keeping some shooting on the floor: I imagine there would be some additional shooting from the bigs there, possibily with Melli involved. If Melli translates well to the NBA, I could see fairly severe Lonzo/Redick/Jrue/Melli/Zion minutes.
At the same time, if you wanted to maximise Ingram's abilities, you'd want to make sure he was on the floor with shooters. Possibly adding him to the Lonzo/Redick/Moore trio would give him a little more space to operate. 5th man in that lineup could change depending on how certain lineups work together. If Melli really does well, you could go with a mostly large lineup of something like Lonzo/Redick/Ingram/Melli/Zion, and then switch out Lonzo for Jrue as the rotation goes.
Plenty of time to work it out, but there's a lot of potential for very complex rotations.
