    Great points, all. Like abeer, in a vacuum, I would prefer to start Smart over Rui. But including all real world considerations, I agree with pika's approach. Start Rui to open the season, close more often with Smart, and slowly lay the groundwork to be able to start Smart in the playoffs without any negative repercussions.
