Our bench wasn't as experienced is what I was saying. And I will say that it would be a travesty if Corliss gets Tag's chair, and his minutes, the guy is a former 6th man for craps sake. These are the kind of guys that Adelman likes to play anyway, so we will see.
Yes, but how?
Corliss can only play SF or PF, and at PF all of the post play and toughness kind of goes away because he's too small and has a hard time posting bigger players or rebounding at all against tall guys. And so then you get Peja back, and that means most of Corliss' minutes are as Peja's backup, whch is only a 10-12 minute gig. Almost has nothing to do with Corliss not being good, and everything to do with him sitting behind one of our two main scorers now.
If it looks like this:
C- Miller 38min
PF- Thomas 32min
SF- Peja 38min
OG- Mobley 36min
PG- Bibby 40min
and I think that's pretty reasonable given what we know of Rick then you have
C - 10min (Skinner/Tag)
PF - 16min (Songaila/Skinner/Williamson)
SF - 10min ( Williamson/Evans)
OG - 12min (Evans/Jackson/House)
PG - 8min (Jackson/House)
And something does not add up. Not enough minutes, too many bodies. If you squeeze Evans, House, Darius and Tag entirely out of the rotation, ou have enough minutes, but Evans and Darius would seem to still be candidates to get a few.
