you have 0 for Jefferson, Wilkins, Anigbogu, and JYoung. I'd guess that the combination will average around 20 a game. You can get 10 by lowering Turner, Victor, and Lance to 30 each and then dropping Sabonis to 24 gets you close.

Nate has said that they are going to start the year with a 9 man rotation. Only expect to see the others due to injury, foul trouble, or blowout.

understood but that still isn't 0. I was thinking 5 minutes a game for 4 players makes 20 minutes even if it is just injuries, foul trouble, or blowouts, maybe it'll be less but it'll be something. perhaps 10 is enough to take away from the top 9 in which case it'll either come from those with the highest totals or those most foul prone which would probably be Leaf and Sabonis since the refs call more fouls on young players.

Gotcha. I was thinking on planned out those would be the numbers the poster was referring to. We are saying the same thing just differently.

My minutes were based on the fact that Nate stated we were going to use a 9 man rotation...plus hoping that there are no more injuries.

McMillan said "nine and a half man rotation" with Lance or TJ getting some time at SF but also Wilkins getting some. Even if they don't realize it now, I think Wilkins will still end up getting a good chunk of time at the backup small forward. If he can continue the shooting he showed in the preseason, I think it'll just become obvious that it's a better fit than letting Lance, Collison, and Oladipo fight over who handles the ball. Or letting TJ try to guard small forwards.
