The reality is, barring injuries, there are very, very good players on this team who aren’t going to get minutes outside of garbage time and the non conference buy games.


Bingo. There's definitely an argument that Stevenson will see more minutes (I could easily see it), but that won't have anything to do with his expectations. There will be a lot of players whose PT expectations won't be met. The funny thing is that the allotments I posted doesn't even take into account Reid playing any minutes at the 4 which also has a strong possibility to happen.

It's a great problem to have, but one of the challenges for Oats next year may be managing team chemistry with all the guys upset with PT.

This is exactly what worries me. If players play for the team, we all get really good results.

Just unofficial blue blood problems.

In all seriousness though, successfully managing a talented locker room full of big egos and diverse personalities is probably the most underrated (and rarest) skill in the coaching profession. If Oats achieves that this season I am confident that he will eventually win us a championship if the NBA doesn't snatch him up first.
