    Yeah I agree it's going to be Aldridge. He's going to play a lot more (providing he stays out of foul trouble).

    Rudy will probably get more playing time and more touches as well.

    Dante will still ride the pine. Nate doesn't play rookies.

    Yeah, I considered adding him. But then decided to keep the list to bench players

    Then it becomes Howard or Cunningham. I can't see how Rudy or Webster get a significant rise in minutes with our backup PF going out. Do we plan to play a 4 guard lineup or something?

    More than likely, Aldridge is going to see a big bump in minutes, even when he's in foul trouble, and Howard takes the 12 minutes or so backing in up.

    JB, imho. He will be thrust even more as a scoring option from the bench.

    A lot of those shots that Travis would have taken - will now become JB's.
