Minutes crunch

[K F Jay]

With the team currently constructed and assuming each player is fully healthy and ready to go. How do you see the minutes being distributed?

-i see us using a good deal of our roster which wont help anyone.

-I see reke playing some 3 which isnt favourable

I see Isaiah and Brooks sharing the PG minutes until/unless one of them proves to be superior. I see Jimmer as the odd man out for PG minutes.
I see Tyreke as the full-time SG and Thornton coming off the bench. But for a lot of games, you want to have both players in at the end of the game. That creates a crunch at PG and SF. But a good crunch if Evans will give Thornton the ball when he's hot.

With the exception of Cousins, it's a crap shoot to figure out the minutes that will be played by individual players on this team. Even with Tyreke, if he comes in a doesn't shoot the ball well, and Thornton comes in hot as pistol, it will be very hard not to give Thornton a lot of minutes at the two. And Salmons is a wild card. If he competes well at the 2, it will complicate matters even more. Except for center, every position is up for grabs. Which is a good thing. Heck, at the 3 the whole human race in the competition. I just wonder whether Smart is going make a decision on who starts and who comes off the bench and for the most part sticks to it? Or, will he constantly change each player's minutes depending on his feel for the game and how the player is performing at a moment in time? With all the positions up for grabs, it could be pretty chaotic if he opts for the latter.

there will be no hirearchy in minutes with smart, hes a buddy guy so he plays everyone regardless of talent level, that leads to confused roles and spuratic minutes and oh yeah a bunch of losses.

i just hope Tyreke goes beast mode this year, and i hope they find a way to give Marcus Thornton the minutes he deserves. and i hope the majority of the game IT is running the point. not sure how all that will happen though

Trade Thornton and let the best man at PG get the most minutes.

Trade Thornton and let the best man at PG get the most minutes.

With age comes wisdom. I wish the young believed that.

Good poll. Would be a great poll if 5a and 5b were not included...
