Koloko, Precious and Boucher could play together as long as there is a guy that can handle the ball (like Scottie, Fred, Pascal, Malachi or Dalano) and/or a shooter (Fred, Gary, Otto or OG) that plays with them.
It may not work, but it could be fun to watch.. at least defensively.

Bench would be Koloko, Precious, Boucher, Thad, Banton?
Between starting small and creating a completely imbalanced bench, will not be surprised if we see a slow start out of the gate in spite of the inherent advantage of bringing most of the team back. Part of that advantage is supposed to be that you can learn from your previous year's mistakes and not repeat them, but oh well.
That said, maybe Otto is back and at least his shooting helps out, though you still need to find minutes for guys like Boucher.

Well if preseason is an indicator of anything it looks like the starting role will go to Trent over Precious, and will be Trent's spot to lose. It should be our best unit on offense.
We're going to see some funky line up's off the bench this season until Nurse finds a combination that works.

The depth is weird but the front office likes it that way. I could see Boucher being a "SF" in some line ups.

What this team would need this upcoming season is for Nick Nurse to limit the minutes of VanVleet. Enough of this #igotus mentality because he is not that guy. Bring down that FGA from 16.9 to 14. Him taking the ball down the court, initiating the offense and passing a hot potato with four seconds remaining in the shot clock is cringeworthy. One more thing, by now he should realize of his physical limitations and his inability to drive the ball to the basket amongst trees because 3 out of 4 times, he will get smothered. Living and dying with his Hail Mary’s is stupid Basketball.
Design more plays for Barnes (PnR/ PnP and Post up Plays), make him as the secondary offensive option behind Siakam.
Scottie’s fga should increase from 12.6 to at least 15.
In an ideal world:
Barnes
GTJ
OG
Siakam
Precious
VanVleet - 6th man
fast forward to now and here we are….
lol.

If He refused then he is a great asset to be traded at the deadline.
Let Scottie and Siakam do the work.
….Last resort now for Masai and Bobby’s Sanity Preservation
because if they ask the Claw Reborn now….I’d say trade, that ship of being politically correct has sailed already. He just ain’t a good fit.
