Starting 5 Production

Over the last 5 games, the production of the starting unit has been above average. With Beasley injured for 2 games, it has allowed other players to step up over the last 5 games:

Darko - 55% FG, 2.8 blks and 12.4 pts
Love - 49% FG, 14.8 rebs and 22.8 pts
Brewer - 46% FG, 3.0 stls and 13.2 pts
Ridnour - 46% FG, 7 asts and 15.2 pts

Top reserves are:

Webster - 9.2 pts
Ellington - 8.0 pts
Pekovic - 6.0 pts

Once Beasley is back to 100%, the Wolves may have a full healthy squad ready to compete (minus Bassy). I would expect the mins to look like:

PG - Ridnour - 28, Flynn - 20
SG - Brewer - 28, Webster - 20
SF - Beasley - 32, Wes - 16
PF - Love - 34, Tolliver - 14
C - Darko - 28, Tolliver - 10, Pek - 10

Ellington, Bassy and Koufos to get scrub minutes.

I don't think the starters will only get 28 minutes. All 3 of Ridnour, Darko and Brewer have to be on the floor for longer if the team is trying to compete.

I do agree with you and im sure there will be some games where they get between 32-40 mins or more.

However, Flynn is starting to come along nicely lately, and Wes def needs 15-20 mins to make an impact. Webster should be getting at least 20 + mins...so I guess minutes comes down to whos playing well, what unit is working best and what Rambis decides.
