Jeff Pendergraph and Patty Mills are both ahead of schedule on their injuries and are likely to return late December or early January. With only 10 players currently able to suit up, I'm assuming they both will when healthy, at least until Batum comes back. I will be intrigued by what we see out of them, whether they play because of injuries, foul trouble, or in garbage time.
I don't see Mills getting any burn with Miller, Blake, Roy, Bayless and Rudy in front of him.. well, who knows about Rudy at this point. But Jerryd should not be sitting on the bench at anytime when Patty is on the floor. As for Pendergraph, I wouldn't mind seeing him on the floor as an energizer. He'd bring that scrappiness.
