Minutes breakdown once team is "healthy"

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...

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

Lol healthy wtf was I thinking

It makes a ton of sense to trade BI for a big. But I just don't know what trade would be out there.

Does it? Would we want to invest that much in a big (unless it is a star type player)?

Imo, as much as I love Jose, Hawkins won't get fewer minutes than him. Maybe the same, but not fewer.

CJ getting a bit up in age will likely lose a few to Hawkins. CJ might be closer to 26-28 to keep him fresher/healthier during the season.

Agreed, though I think CJ gets much more come playoffs (yeah I know). Also, it's not just about who's better, but also fit and roles. IE Jose is a better fit when CJ sits, where as Hawk can play next to either but won't fit CJ's role as well as Jose. IF this team can stay healthy (lol) then I think breakdown would go something like this:

BI and Herb - 36
Zion and CJ - 34
Trey - 26
Jonas - 22
Jose - 14 (all of CJ's bench)
Nance - 14
Hawkins and Dyson - 12

There’s no reason we should have 4+ guys playing well over 30 minutes with this squad. Build some sustainability and learn to rely on our bench guys more so it doesn’t bite us in the arse.

This is a playoff type must win game rotation.

CJ- 30
Jose- 15
Herb- 34
Hawkins- 15
Dyson- 15
BI- 32
Trey- 32
Zion- 32
Val-25
Nance- 10

Naji/ Ryan could get a few minutes. Hawkins/ Jose/ Dyson would probably just split their 45 min based on matchup/ hot hand/ chemistry.

Naji sort of went from scrappy,
hustling sub to a goat ( lower case, not in caps)
