Considering it seems like Duns may have broken out of that slump (hopefully it lasts longer than just that game), who should Indy start now? Still Duns or bring Rush in?

I know we can't put too much on one game, but just curious if last game changed anything for you? Not that Rush had a bad game either.

It wasn't even a game, it was a quarter.

I think our swingman rotation will be somewhere around:

Granger 35/Dunleavy 28/Rush 20/George 13

That adds up to 96 minutes.

Dunleavy should start, The second unit can use Rush's toughness (for now).

Dunleavy should come off the bench, The second unit can use his scoring and playmaking skills.

Rush should start, The first unit can use the defense.

I would start Rush. The first unit needs a strong wing defender and the second unit could use the offensive playmaking skills Dunleavy brings. In addition, Dunleavy's defensive shortcomings can be hidden better against 2nd line players.

I also think there should be more than 96 minutes to allocate between Granger, Rush, Dunleavy and George. I'd like to see us play small when Hibbert is on the bench. Right now the only minute worthy bigs we have are Hibbert, Hansbrough and McRoberts. Asking the three of them to split 96 minutes a night is too much. I'd also rather see one of the 4 wings get playing time over Posey.

I think sooner or later Rush will be starting. We're simply a more complete team with him in the starting 5.
