After the 6 minute mark, sub out Beal & Morris, and put in Meeks & Smith (who can't create shots on their own and are dependent on Wall). Take out Porter at 9, put in Oubre. Take out Meeks & Smith (or play Smith at Center in certain matchups) and put in Morris & Beal to start the 2nd.
When Morris gets back, I'd like the bench rotation to be:
PG: Sato
SG: Beal
SF: Oubre
PF: Morris
C: Mahinmi/Smith
agree with half of this, play Sato with Beal, staggers a starter, solves ball handling issue, gives 2nd unit a better offensive gameplan than Mike Smith post ups. I would do it like this though:
Wall Sato
Beal Meeks
Otto Oubre
Morris Scott
Gortat Mahinmi
I like this. Though I'd probably squeeze Scott out of the lineup to make more room for Oubre. So the rotation goes something like this:
0-6 min: Wall - Beal - Porter - Morris - Gortat
6-9 min: Wall - Meeks - Oubre - Porter - Gortat
9-12 min: Wall - Meeks - Oubre - Morris - Mahinmi
12-15 min: Sato - Beal - Oubre - Morris - Mahinmi
15-18 min: Sato - Beal - Porter - Morris - Mahinmi
18-24 min: Wall - Beal - Oubre - Porter - Gortat
At all times, we have either Wall in the game, or Beal + Morris. We also close out the games with our death lineup. That's 36 minutes for Wall, Beal and Porter; 30 minutes for Morris, Oubre and Gortat; 18 minutes for Mahinmi; and 12 minutes for Sato and Meeks. It's more of a playoff rotation though. I don't know if we want to have our big three average 36 minutes a game all season long.
