Trying to pigeonhole DeRozan at SG means only three of Murray, White, Walker, Mills, Forbes and Beli will play. And maybe you'll think "Well Walker or Beli could play the three off the bench." But that would be just as "out of position" as DeRozan playing there is. When push comes to shove, it's much better for DMDR and the team to have DeRozan as the starting three.

Murray, White
Forbes, Mills (or Walker)
DeRozan, Carroll
Morris, Gay
Aldridge, Poeltl

It's just a better use of the players on the team than:

Murray, White
DeRozan, Forbes (or Mills or Walker)
Carroll, Literally don't know who since no one besides Metu and Samanic is on the roster, not used so far and is bigger than DeRozan
Morris, Gay
Aldridge, Poeltl
