Lets Say Everyone Is Healthy...What Rotations Optimize Our Game Plan?
Posted on 2/28/15 at 11:21 am

We have had some unfortunate injuries this year. But it has given us an opportunity to see other role players step up and to see what they can do. I think we have all been impressed with Ajinca for the most part, QPon, Cole, and even Babbitt with his 51.5% from the 3 point line. So the question becomes if/when AD, Jrue, & Ryno get healthy how do we get the most out of this bunch?
Here are some of my thoughts:
Ryno and Asik should never be on the floor together. Jrue, EG, and Reke should be on the floor minimally together.
We have seen a more efficient & aggressive EG. Is that bc he needs to be aggressive with the absence of Jrue or is he just finding his groove? I think EG & Reke have played well together maybe they should play more together. If thats the case should Jrue come off the bench?
Or should we go back to Tyreke coming off the bench? We have seen Tyreke dish out 10+ assists on many nights. Did that change bc he is growing into the offense or is it solely bc Jrue is out?
Who does Cole run best with out of Jrue, EG, & Reke?
If we can put a better defensive unit on the floor to compensate for Babbitt lack of defense does he make Ryno expendable?
How do we keep Ajinca aggressive? He obviously needs to cut down on the fouls but he has looked pretty skilled down in the post. Who do we pair with him in the post?
I don't have answers to these questions I put them together to start discussion.

EG, Jrue, and Reke take 32 minutes each at the 1 and 2. Cole is great to have as a backup, but we really don't need him if we are healthy. Pondexter plays 30 minutes at the 3. Cunningham 18. AD 36 minutes at the 4. Asik and Ajinca split the 5 minutes. Something like 28/20. Ryno plays the other 12 at the 4.

So minutes are
AD 36
EG 32
Jrue 32
Reke 32
Pondexter 30
Asik 28
Ajinca 20
Cunningham 18
Ryno 12
No reason to play more than 9. If Ajinca is playing with his head up his arse, then I guess you have to shift AD to the 5 and let Ryno take his minutes.

I like the distribution for the rest but if you play Ryno for 12 minutes in this lineup, then you're paying a guy 9 mil for those 12 mins. If thats the case I think we would trade away Ryno and let Babbitt fill that role.

put norris in the game coach

Oh, I'm all for a trade. He's just not getting it done this year and we need to change something on defense. Giving up the highest FG% in the league needs to stop.

I'm just not buying what the Anderson pitchfork crowd is selling. Consider these lineup pairings:
1st Half
Asik/Davis (484MP)99.1 ORating 93.5 DRating
Anderson/Davis (314MP) 113.6 ORating 101.9 DRating
Evans/Holiday (470MP0 107.2 ORating 100.1 DRating
2nd Half
Asik/Davis (385MP) 108.5 ORating 108.4 DRating
Anderson/Davis (470MP) 111.1 ORating 109.7 DRating
Evans/Holiday (524MP) 113 ORating 111.2 DRating
Obviously not a perfect comp or evaluation, but something works in the first half that isn't working in the 2nd for the entire team

how many teams have 5 guys averaging 30+ a night? serious question, i have no idea.

Ryno 12
not going to happen, especially at home. his offense outweighs his crap defense at home.
No Cole?

Cole has to play... he's the only other "true" PG on the team besides Jrue
when Holiday is healthy... it'll be Jrue backed up by Cole w/ Evans going back to the 2 or 3

I could see DC going to DNPCD and Ajinca getting minutes on the floor giving either AD or Asik a rest while teaming up w/ the other

Position doesn't matter for a player like Cole. You have got to find a way to get your energy guys in the game. Qpon/DC/Cole

Who do you have playing backup small forward? Just Tyreke?

Trade Ryno or play him less than 20 minutes
