    So Outlaw goes from getting votes for 6th man to not playing?

    This board is crazy at times. :clap:

    Here will be the "rotation" without posters' personal biases coming into play. I'm not sure of the starters, but here is who will get minutes to start the season.

    PG - Miller/Blake

    SG - Roy/Fernandez

    SF - Batum/Webster

    PF - LMA/Outlaw

    C - Oden/Przy

    Eliminating Blake and Outlaw from the rotation is absolutely hilarious! :biglaugh:

    I haven't heard that Roy plans on gaining any weight back. I heard he's down to 205 - not going to guard too many SFs at 205.

    again, this oft repeated view of yours doesn't make much sense. He guarded plenty of SFs as a rookie... at the combine he weighed in at 207. After 3 years of working with Blazer trainers, do you think he's stronger, weaker, or the same? All Star SFs play at basically the same weight as he is now, and we're talking about him logging SF minutes usually vs backups.

    Feel free to make a list of backup SFs that he shouldn't be able to handle.

    Not after that 30 foot heave Blake took with way too much time left on the clock in that last game against Houston. Steve Blake=Loser.

    Players that need and deserve rotation
    Miller
    Roy
    Rudy
    Batum
    Aldridge
    Oden
    Pryzbilla

    Players that don't deserve rotation but could help situationally
    Blake
    Outlaw
    Webster

    Players that may still pan out and should not be totally forgotten. give them shots from time to time.
    Bayless
    Cunningham

    Currently, the average is 8.90 - a 9-man rotation.

    I can't vote because it only goes up to 10.

    Another problem is, where will McMillan find the offense on his 3rd team? Looks like Cunningham and Udoka will be the outside shooters, and Bayless and Howard will be the inside scorers. Something like this.

    C Pendergraph
    F Howard
    F Bayless
    G Cunningham
    G Udoka
