If Brown is determined to play 2 bigs, he could have both Mitch and KAT out to start the game and then rotate KAT and Mitch so it's one big at a time (if you consider Yabu and OG to more wings than true 4s) but there's also a world where Huk becomes that backup to Mitch.
That would make Yabu KAT's backup, and if it's Hart backing up the 3, someone is out at the 1/2 backup spots between Deuce, Clarkson and Brogdon.
Good problems to have.
Thinking out loud, Huk is probably the Precious big this year, spot minutes for foul trouble for Mitch,KAT, more time when Mitch or KAT miss games, and most bigs miss 10 games a year, so that's 20 games at least for Huk to get more minutes.
That scenario is more likely to get Brodgon, Deuce, Clarkson and Hart into the rotation.
Again, good problem to have. If Knicks get both Brogdon and Shamet on the team, Knicks will have 12 legitimately playable players.
agree on everything!
I really want to see what Hukporti can do, if he stays healthy this time. definitely looked promising last season.
With this depth, the starters probably don't need to play more than 32-34 minutes a game. For comparison SGA on a deep Thunder team played 34 minutes a game last year on average.
Something like this for the top 4:
Brunson 34
Bridges 33
OG 32
KAT 32-33
Sure it might increase in the playoffs but thats fine since we wouldn't be grinding the heck out of them during a 82 game season prior to that.
