re: The case for keeping Jaxson Hayes

As fans we are allowed to assume good injury luck and hope we are right. What pleasure is there in assuming otherwise?

You can hope for what you want. I am basing it off historical data and trends. We have had a different 12+ guys start multiple games for us every year of existence. So has almost every team in the league. Guys are going to get hurt, be held out, go through slumps, need personal time away and sometimes the coach is going to want to shake things up and experiment with the starting line up. Maybe someone like Hayes or Murphy or anybody goes on a hot streak and he wants to reward them. It's all fluid and we don't really know how that specific group is going to play together. They never have before and the focus is about to change all together.

like every other team in the league they are deep assuming availability, and like every other team they are thin without it

I classify quality depth as players that could start for other teams or have an elite skill in short bursts. We don't have much of that on the bench at this point. I hope I'm wrong and either Hayes, Murphy, Alvarado or Daniels emerges in a significant way. But at this point I don't see that and we are going to have to have multiple starters on the court at all times..
