I don’t think the minutes balance is the problem, in the aggregate it’s fine, the concern is why we are having to balance the minutes this way?
Why only an 8 man rotation?
Maybe it is because SVG is an outlier in his philosophy, maybe it has to do with setting a culture on the court, maybe it is simply our developmental guys aren’t ready.
But in any case it raises a number of questions. Namely, why? Why does SVG feel no one outside 7-8 guys can play a role in establishing the court culture and contribute to winning games right now? Certain people choose to interpret every one of these trends in the most positive light possible, and tbf that might be the case, I certainly wouldn’t dismiss it. but just as plausible are the other obvious, less flowery answers, which is simply we don’t really have any playable guys beyond the first 7-8 players on the roster(and arguably Hayes isn’t playable but we are forced to) and it’s up in the air if and when anyone else will be able to do so. Which includes players from two drafts and several FA acquisitions.

It's kind of hard to argue with what SVG is doing based on the results. It's only been 3 games and we are melting hard because we are looking for something to complain about. There's too many games left to play and opportunities will be there.

quote:My theory, as stated earlier in the thread is that we are trying to win, and feel like having our best players on the court as many minutes as possible is the best way to do that. We don't feel like we have the luxury of buying minutes with the young guys because our margins are thin, and in a sense Zion, Lonzo, and BI are still developing. IMO, it would be kinda hard to win when you have a 10 man rotation and 6 of those players are developmental. Right or wrong (jury is still out on this), winning right now is very important to the franchise.

Considering the team’s history with some rookies, this is probably a good thing.
Remember Austin Rivers’ rookie campaign? I wish I couldn’t.
Not saying Kira et all would be that bad but throwing a kid out there before they are ready means a good chance they get eaten alive.
