Probably a moot point since we're never healthy, but what do you think the minutes look like once Jose and Trey are back?

A guess...

Jonas - 25
Zion - 33
Ingram - 34
Herb - 34
CJ - 33

Trey - 30
Nance - 15
Jose - 19
Dyson - 10

Naji/Hawkins/Zeller/Ryan - 7 depending on the matchup which one might get in the game.

Kira completely out of the lineup.

Unfortunately, I think Naji gets more minutes than we expect or want

What you are seeing right now from many teams is a preseason type roll out in a sense.

Teams playing a good bit of guys due to the upcoming new in season tournament setup.

You see this blanketed usually in Oct/Nov/Dec and after the New Year the rotations tighten up dramatically. After the All-Star break is also the final push on that.

I would think with the tournament teams with younger groupings that likely won't make a real championship push this year may go all out for this.

I don't think serious contenders with older players make a run at the tournament play stuff...

Yours looks pretty good right out of the box.


For what will actually happen, I'm fairly certain we'll run a 10 man rotation as I don't think 9 man is something really any team does for long stretches of time in the regular season nowadays.

With that, i'd like to see finding a way to get 8-10 minutes for Hawkins as the 10th guy.

I think you have to say it like this:

JV/Larry - 40 with Zion getting the other 8 minutes at the 5.
Zion/Trey - 48 minutes at the 4
BI/Herb - 68 minutes of the possible 96 at the 2/3 position, with Trey getting a few minutes here as well when not at the 4. I would assume Trey is at the 4 when Zion is at the 5, so i'd only expect to see Trey get maybe 6-8 minutes at the 3. that leaves about 20 minutes for Dyson/Hawkins.
CJ/Jose - 48 minutes at the 1, with Jose getting about 18 minutes and CJ getting 30.
I expect CJ/BI/Zion/Herb/Trey to play 30+ mpg


When guys get hurt is when Naji and Ryan can play, and you can just about always expect someone to be dinged up. If JV/Larry/Zion/Trey are healthy, Zeller won't touch the floor. When one is out, then he can play for a few minutes.
Kira won't play unless Jose or CJ are hurt.
EJ isn't playing unless Zion and another big get hurt.



and to point out how i've divvied this up, Trey and Zion would only share the court for about 16mpg, despite both playing 30mpg+.
I think it will be interesting to see what lineups work the best this year, assuming we have relative good health for a good chunk of games with our main core of CJ/BI/Zion/Trey/Herb

Ok, since I posted this initially, there have been some things we've learned. Notably, Nance is now horrible and Hawkins is a stud.

Naji also looks like he deserves minutes.

It's a good problem to have.

22 - Jonas
32 - Zion
32 - Ingram
32 - Herb
32 - CJ

That leaves 90 minutes for the bench.

30 - Trey
20 - Jose
15 - Hawkins
15 - Dyson
10 - Nance, Naji, Ryan

Problem with that is we have zero big depth.

We have a glut at G/SF. It makes a ton of sense to trade BI for a big. But I just don't know what trade would be out there.
