Thor, AK, Carey, Scottie are going to be there a ton.
It doesn't make sense to play 3 centers.
Plumlee will play 25mpg, and PJ will play the other 23mpg.
You have to keep three centers on the NBA team for depth at the very least, typically guys drafted top 20 don't spend a ton of time in the GLeague. Also, I highly doubt PJ is going to play that much time at center, last year he logged 46% of his time at Center so roughly 14 mpg. I think it hovers in that same range with the rest of his minutes playing at the backup 4 to Miles.

Some nights I could see us going with a 9 man rotation with Kai getting no minutes and seeing some bumps to Oubre and Ish, but it is not uncommon for Borrego to use a 10 man rotation throughout the season. Also, this assumes everyone is healthy and has no foul trouble. Also, I could see us trying to limit Gordon's minutes closer to 28 on some nights just to keep him fresh throughout the 82 game season.
