Re: Depth Chart/Minute Allocation
Regular Season:
Position/Starters/Bench
PG- James Harden (30)/De'Anthony Melton (18)
SG- Tyrese Maxey (32)/De'Anthony Melton (14)
SF- Matisse Thybulle (20)/Danuel House Jr. (20)/Tobias Harris (8)
PF- Tobias Harris (24)/PJ Tucker (16)/Georges Niang (8)
C- Joel Embiid (30)/Montrezl Harrell (10)/Paul Reed (8)
Playoffs:
Position/Starters/Bench
PG- James Harden (38)/De'Anthony Melton (10)
SG- Tyrese Maxey (40)/De'Anthony Melton (8)
SF- Danuel House Jr. (30)/Matisse Thybulle (10)/Tobias Harris (8)
PF- PJ Tucker (26)/Tobias Harris (22)
C- Joel Embiid (40)/Paul Reed (8)
I am still hoping the Sixers trade Tobias for a wing who can shoot before the deadline. Thinking they'll look to do that if they can find the right player and PJ doesn't look washed.

Re: Depth Chart/Minute Allocation
Harden, maxey, Milton, Melton.
Not perfect after Harden but it should be doable with embiid and Harris.

Re: Depth Chart/Minute Allocation
The Sixers better be committed to not playing Harden, Embiid, or Tucker more than 30 minutes/game. Who cares about the regular season. Morey needs to convince Doc and the players that they need to save something for the playoffs.

Re: Depth Chart/Minute Allocation
I just thought of this Niang was pretty nice with Tobias as a forward combo in the playoffs definitely keeping him as a shooter. He can play 3-5 in situations.
Tobias/ Niang/ House at the 3 /4 / Tucker / Reed / Harrell at 4 / 5 .. small ball supreme . Big girthy team lol

Re: Depth Chart/Minute Allocation
I think Reed will play PF. He played PF on SL. And he’s more natural as a PF. He also shot well from 3s in G-League

Re: Depth Chart/Minute Allocation
Niang being effective as a big 3-5 floor spacer in the playoffs and Reed being able to play 4/5. Makes Korkmaz the odd man out. Bassey isn't needed nor is Joe. Shake can be a ok depth guy because he can play 1-3 in a pinch. But can be upgraded for a PG/ scorer for bench.
Thybulle if he isn't decent on offense can kick rocks too .

Re: Depth Chart/Minute Allocation
Players don't play 82 games, so a prediction on players' MPG doesn't need to add up to 240 minutes (48 * 5). There are 48*5*82 = 19680 minutes in the season. The bench players will end up with a higher MPG than most people are predicting, because the starters will all miss some games, whether for rest or injury. It will end up something like this:
Code: Select all
GP MPG MP
Harden 72 32 2304
Maxey 78 32 2496
Harris 78 32 2496
Embiid 66 30 1980
Melton 72 20 1440
Harrell 70 20 1400
Tucker 70 20 1400
House 70 20 1400
Thybulle 66 20 1320
Niang 60 18 1080
Milton 60 14 840
Korkmaz 50 10 500
Reed 50 10 500
Bassey 24 8 192
Springer 20 8 160
Joe 20 6 120
Queen 13 4 52

Re: Depth Chart/Minute Allocation
Long season, not predicting what the numbers look like for all 82, but if you're asking what they will look like at full health in close regular season games against good teams (like against Boston and Milwaukee games 1 and 2)
Embiid 34
Harris 36
Tucker 28
Maxey 37
Harden 37
Melton 24
House+Thybulle 15 combined (one may just play all of them)
Niang 15
Harrell 14
Thybulle has the biggest variable here, if he has a good camp I could see them deciding to start him again could also be completely out of the rotation.
Embiid 34
Harris 36
Tucker 28
Maxey 37
Harden 37
Melton 24
House+Thybulle 15 combined (one may just play all of them)
Niang 15

Would be such a shame to bench Reed again this year and then realize in the PO that he and Tucker are the only viable backups. He needs these minutes to improve. Exactly the reason why I don't like the Harrell addition.

If Reed can play he can earn minutes at the 4 or 5. Last year the only gripe is really the last 2 months after the trade. When they had Joel and Drummond, they had a great situation. After the trade it became a hole again. They have milsap a few weeks, then DJ like a month of just hoping he could put up similar stats to what he had that same season with LA. Plus it's clear that Harden doesn't want to play with Reed, in his lineup. Harden pretty much recruited DJ and has recruited Montrezl.... And Doc pretty much confirmed that in the playoffs.... Saying that the players advocated for DJ.
I can even say though that I feel that read should get some opportunity, if the defense really showcases that it is lacking without Joel

Re: Depth Chart/Minute Allocation
We’ll the roster is set, so I’ll give my rotation:
PG. Harden 20 mins @PG.13 mins @ SG
SG. Maxey 33 mins @ SG.
SF. Harris 28 mins @ SF. 7 mins @ PF
PF. Tucker 28 mins. @ PF.
C.Embiid . 33 mins @ C
The bench looks like;
Melton 28 min.s @ PG.
House 18 mins @ SG,/SF
Thybulle 18 mins. SG/SF
Niang. 13 mins @ PF
Harrell 10 mins@ C
Reed 10 mins @ center
Milton DNP
Korkmaz DNP
Before I get a lot of kickback I know the numbers don’t actually add up. They don’t have to. There is plenty of days guys will sit either for rest or injury. Hopefully mostly rest.

Re: Depth Chart/Minute Allocation
If I had to pick 10 dudes and make the minute allocation somewhat realistic...
Harden(32)/Melton(16)
Maxey(32)/Melton(8)/Thybulle(8)
Tucker(24)/House(16)/Thybulle(8)
Harris(32)/Niang(16)
Embiid(30)/Harrell(18)
With Reed as the 5th "big" playing either behind or next to Embiid when we want D > O.

That’ll be dependent on us kicking ass like the Bucks did during the Giannis MVP years. It’s just gonna be a losing battle to fight Embiid to stay on the bench in a competitive game.

I'm more concerned about Glenn than Joel or any player, for that matter. It needs to be hammered home that seeding takes a backseat to being healthy and rested for the playoff push, which sure as hell needs to go beyond the second round in the next couple of years. The tone has to be set early that everything is about the playoffs, individual accolades and coaching W-L be damned.
Somehow I don't feel confident this will be the case, but we'll see.
