Starters vs Bench vs Spectators

[NuggetsWY]

After 12 games, what do you think the Nuggets best rotation would be?

We've had the same starting lineup every game so far: Jokic - Millsap - Chandler - Harris - Murray

Bench Players seem to be Barton - Mudiay - Plumlee - Beasley - Faried

Specators seem to be Arthur - Lyles - Jefferson - Lydon - - - with Hernangomez out indefinitely.

***

Barton - Mudiay - Plumlee - Beasley are the only bench players that have played in all 12 games.

Faried is the only other player that's played in more than 2 games, he has played in 10 games.

Faried & Beasley are the only bench players averaging less than 10 mpg.

Oh yeah, my opinion? Ignoring minutes played, more or less, I like the starting lineup and the bench players. More teams are tending to play more players, at least early in the season.

I'd like to see more of Lyles but it could be just spot minutes. I know that it's harder to be effective in spot minutes, but I'm less interested in the stats than I am the hustle and attitude - especially on defense where I think he might be good.

Jefferson makes me wonder if he couldn't be used in a few more situations. Chandler isn't a top option on scoring, so it's harder to measure his effectiveness and he usually gives a solid defensive game, still, with Jefferson's experience ... it makes me wonder. Then again, those minutes would come at the expense of Barton and/or Lyles and/or Beasley; so I'm not sure I want that either.

Overall, I'm fairly satisfied (except for the mpg on a few players ).

I like the rotations, we always have either Millsap or Jokic on the floor for playmaking.

Its sad that we cant fit Faried in but we just dont have the spacing or the minutes for him. I actully think he would be a better fit on offense that Plumlee as a C but i doubt he can be a full time backup Center due to size for D.

Anyone knows when should Hernangomez return? I'd like to see how the team plays with him.

One thing that is really holding us back is our PG position. I thought that Murray would be much better but currently is still sooooo raw. Mudiay showed improvement but he still commits way too many turnovers and clumsy plays. He's still a below average finisher at the rim. Props to him for his shooting improvement lets hope it will last once they start contesting him more. Neither are really starter level yet.

While I agree the PG position has been a bit underwhelming, I see the SF position as the biggest problem on this team. Perhaps when Juancho gets back things will improve but that's the biggest positional disappointment IMO

As for the rotation, I'm ok with the starters and I see Juancho replacing Beasley off the bench when he returns. I think it'll strengthen one of our biggest weaknesses. It's almost a shame having so much depth, guys like Lyles and Beasley really cou;d use some PT to develop.
