Minutes and rotation

[Ray Williams]

Thibs saying Julius can play 15 minutes a night at center is great news. It reduces the urgency to trade for a starting caliber center for now at least.
Coming off of injuries, I'd say limit Julius and OG to 30 minutes a game
With Julius at Center the offense would run through him and JB could get some much need and valuable rest.
JB plays 33, leaves 15 for Deuce.
Mikal, Dante and Hart play 33
Mitch stays at 24 minutes a game, want to keep him healthy and with the free throw situation Randle will probably close games at center.
That leaves 9 unaccounted for minutes at center.
C-Mitch 24, Julius 15, ??? 9
PF- Julius 15, OG 15, Hart 18
SF-OG 15, Mikal 18, Hart 15
2G- Mikal 15, Dante 33
PG- Brunson 33, Deuce 15
We have assets and crazy depth to use in trades, but we don't have to give up the farm for someone who is going to play 8 minutes.
Current options for those 8 minutes: Precious, Jericho, Mook. We have enough if we stay healthy to beat some ass this year, pause.
If you want to cut down on minutes for some, you give Deuce more playing time and play Mook.

My take is Deuce isn't going to be getting many minutes and Mikal will spend more time at "guard" where he will be the acting PG with DDV at the 2 (when Brunson sits). I would expect that either Brunson or Randle will be on the court at all times.

The 7 minute eaters will be:

C - Robinson
F - Randle, OG and Hart
G - Brunson, Bridges and DDV

Then it'll be a tossup between who gets the rest of the minutes.
