    Full as in full. 20 players. And I’d bet none of the training camp guys stick. There’s a reason they didnt get two way deals.

    This isn’t going to be the rotation, but this is my ideal one

    Dame
    CJ
    Harkless
    Aminu
    Nurkic

    Baldwin
    Curry
    Trent
    Turner
    Collins

    Deyonta Davis was cut today. Still only 21. Ceiling is probably Ed Davis with a jumper. Could be worth a camp invite.

    That’s what I don’t get. If we’re not going to sign any two way guys right now, why not fill out the roster and let guys compete? Literally no downside.

    I remember he was being talked about as a lottery pick at one point. I know I’d rather give Davis a two way than any of the other camp invites. We stole from Memphis once. Let’s do it again.

    I think Terry runs an 8-man rotation this year when healthy, similar to what Indiana did last year.

    Dame 36 / McCollum 12
    McCollum 24 / Curry 24
    Harkless 23 / Turner 25
    Aminu 32 / Collins 9 / Harkless 7
    Nurkic 29 / Collins 19

    Nice. I think we do see some 3 guard looks when the matchup lends itself.

    Dame/McCollum/Curry/Aminu/Collins for instance could be really effective.

    Who plays more minutes this year? Swanigan or Meyers?

    I'll go Swanigan. I think he's got the best chance at the 9th man spot.

    I know most don't want ET playing at all, but there is no way he only plays 14 mpg if healthy.

    EDIT: Didn't see that you had us trading for Jimmy lol. And for the record, I don't think Neal is going to pull that trigger. He's talked about turning down deals for guys that he knows (from player feedback) wouldn't work in the locker room, and I think Butler is one of those guys.
