Thanks for responding, I see the cheerleader that I pointed the question to didn't respond.
What do you think, I was scared to answer the question or something? quote:
Distribute 144 minutes between Jrue, Tyreke, Gordon, Smith, Cole, Pondexter, Cunningham, and Gee.
frick if I know. We have never seen this whole group together at the same time.
What I do know, though, is Jrue has played only 48% of possible games since he has been here. So running him out there 30+ minutes every night is just irresponsible at this point. We can pick and chose to play him extended minutes. If we make a playoff run, great, get him out there when needed, if not, get him ready for next season.
In the same breath, Cole got serious run last year only because Holiday couldnt stay on the court. Is he a 24 mpg player like he was last season? No. He and Ish are cut from the same cloth and are really the only players mentioned above who wont be on the court together.
So you shave off some minutes off Jrue and Cole. Gee and Cunningham gets less run with a healthy Pondexter. As for Gordon, he could be dealt, we could play Holiday at the 2 more, Ish and Cole at PG more
Obviously there is some sorting out to do in the near future. But we know Ish Smith can play in this league

This is my point. They are both backup level players and should probably only get about 10 minutes per game at most. They should battle for the 3rd of duties.

All of those guys don't play the same spot.
Ish, Evans, and Holiday are creators.
The other guys + Holiday are off ball wings. I have no desire to see Norris Cole run an offense, regardless of his position.
Certain groupings, like Ish/Cole and Gee w/o shooters, are bad. I'd toss Ish/Evans in there too. But there are a ton of reasonable options. And, like you say, Holiday can't be trusted to play big minutes on a consistent basis.
Its not just counting out minutes; its finding workable skill sets.
