I like the following 12 players as should be in the rotation, depending on the matchups.
Book
Beal
KD
Okogie
Nurk
Allen
Gordon
Yuta
Metu
KBD
Goodwin
Eubanks

Everyone else is break glass for emergency types.
We are deep, man. If I had to take two out of that to get it down to 10, I'd remove Metu and KBD at the moment. I guess we're lacking in the PF designation which I would put Metu in. KBD seems to be more of a SF. As does Little.

I would put Azubuike on that list. He’s a big guy and grabs boards. I expected more from KDP. He didn’t show me much. Metu didn’t show me much either. I would put all three of them in the same category of potential but not quite there.

We don’t want to neglect Little. He’s under contract for four years, so we have a vested interest in developing him. Doesn’t mean he has to play every game, but he needs to have some meaningful burn over the course of the season.

He'll get the perfect amount for him. A Little.

As of now, he hasn't shown me anything to deserve to be in the regular rotation. It's unfortunate that there is a feeling that he has to be played, like he's entitled to get minutes, but that could be true if he's supposed to be a trade asset later.
