i think that maybe a couple of months into the season we are gonna know what we have on our hands, and certainly some of these assets are gonna get moved. if warren really is that good, i'm confident in hornacek that he'll get his share of minutes. i can understand some guarded pessimism towards McD, but at this point i would give our coach the benefit of the doubt.
i am worried about the big men rotation. i'm reasonably comfortable with positions 1-3.
Divvying Up the Minutes

Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

Re: Divvying Up the Minutes
Guards:
Bledsoe, Goran, IT3 @ 30mpg + Green ~6mpg.
SF:
Tucker 20mpg / Green 14mpg / Marcus-TJ Warren 14mpg.
PF:
Kieff 25mpg / Marcus-TJ Warren 15mpg / Tolliver 8mpg.
C:
Miles 28mpg / Len 15mpg / Kieff 5mpg.
Archie, Ennis, Zoran and Shavlik are out of the rotation until further notice. If Tolliver doesn't give me 40%+ 3pt, he is out too and his minutes go to TJ-Marcus.

Re: Divvying Up the Minutes
I think Tolliver is going to get more minutes than most of you are slotting him for in your estimates. He's a veteran PF who can shoot from distance, a poor man's Frye. I think he will see more than 8 minutes a game.
Re: Divvying Up the Minutes
Agree. I said before that I thought he would be the first big off the bench unless Plumlee is in foul trouble. I expect him to average 25 min a game. Though I think trying to guess minutes at this point is a little futile.Mori Chu wrote:I think Tolliver is going to get more minutes than most of you are slotting him for in your estimates.
