Current Roster and Minutes Distribution

So with the signing of GP2, I'll take a swag at what our rotations look like "currently". Maybe we're not done yet tweaking the roster for this free agency period, but I'm excited to watch the current group come together next year.

I didn't put much thought into shifts/substitution patterns, just overall minutes/rough estimates. Close? What do you guys think?

PG
Dame 38
Simons 10

SG
Simons 20
Hart 15
GP2 10
Sharpe 3

SF
Little 25
Sharpe 10
Hart 8
GP2 5

PF
Grant 32
Winslow 12
Watford 4

C
Nurk 35
Watford 8
Eubanks 5

Perhaps a big hole at backup C?

 

Dame should be at 34 minutes max.

 

...and just noticed I forgot GP2. lol
It's going to be tough to fit all these guys together currently.

 

So currently, you don’t have Payton playing?

 

Fixed.

 

Dame 32 / Ant 16
Ant 16 / Payton 18 / Sharpe 14
Hart 28 / Little 20
Grant 30 / Winslow 10/ Little 8
Nurk 28 / Watford 20


ugh

 

Nice, GP2 with very expensive 15 minutes!!

 

That's probably how it will be.

 

So Eubanks is our 3rd Center?

 

i think so. he's not very good. god help us if nurk gets hurt.

 

Fair enough, was a little ambitious with Dame's minutes.

20 minutes of Watford is too much...

 

As he should be.

 

I know what Joe said about Sharpe but I really don't think there actually going count on him at the beginning of the season. I think they will slowly bring him along this year. Remember he hasn't played in game for awhile.

 

i will eat my shorts if nurk can average 35 mpg.

 

Watford at 20 minutes might turn out well. He’d have Jokic exhausted but would get schooled offensively by a lot of starting centers. Will need to watch for fouls.

 

I don't even want him playing that much. 30 is his cap imo.

 

We will on Sharpe if he in the rotation at the start of the season. He might get there by all star break and reason I say that there's players ahead that already NBA ready and for that reason I don't see billups have rush him in his progress. Plus does anybody really know anything about this kid except what did in highschool. All saying there no rush for this kid at start of the season.

 

I see most of you have given Hart more minutes at the 3. I was actually coming to post something similar after reading about the logjam at the 2.

Whether it is the right choice or not, I think the signing of GP2 was a strong indicator that management views Hart at SF.

I see a 3 guard lineup of Dame, Ant, and GP2
Hart and Little at the 3
Grant and Winslow at the 4
Nurk and Eubank at the 5.

Watford will get his chance at backup PF/C
The rest.....who knows at this point how quickly they will develop, but injuries will give them their chance.

 

How good do people think backup Centers in 2022 are? It’s like an NFL team saying ugh our Fullback sucks.
