Oligatory sophomoric joke about penis size.... Real Answer: I hope not, but I think very possible we do. 10 deep means an average of 35 mpg/starter + 13 mpg/reserve. Put another way some of the reserves will only get 8 or 9 mpg, and it'll be the young guys who need more burn than that.
I could see lopez dropping to 30 mpg; which would give Kaman 18 minutes at back up. Of course he may slide to PF at times, depending on the circumstance.
Damn, I somehow thought this thread was going to be about my wife Sent from my Baller-Ass 5.5" iPhone 6+......... FAMS
I hope so, I think the young guys need minutes in the beginning of the season so we can weed out the not so stellar players and tighten up the rotation with the best possible 8 for when it matters most.
This Blake, Kaman, T-Rob, CJ/barton I just didn't see it in Dwright last year. He can be a deadly floor spacer, but he's gotta get and hit his shots.
Freeland will get a shot at the second backup big minutes, and I think it'll be his to lose. EDIT: I mean if he gets first dibs come the regular season, Joel will see more minutes than Robinson until Joel does something to lose the spot.
I hope so. Because if they do I think it means that they are all playing well enough to get significant time. Im interested in seeing what Wright does this year. He has one year under his belt. A sense of security playing another year with the same team. I think he could be a real surprise due to this. I could see him being that Marco Bellinelli for the team. Someone that comes in and plays good solid minutes, with limited mistakes and becoming a deep threat for this team. Something that is consistent and something you can count on. What I really hope is that CJ McCollum elevates his play to the point that makes his draft selection worthy with where he was taken at. And he lives up to some of the hype that the insiders had him at last year. I think this team needs that. They need a reliable dynamic scorer coming off the bench. If he can get there, this team has a chance to go the distance.
There wilt be 3-4 unhappy players regardless. I think those guys would all be happy with 8-10 minutes a game compared to the zero minutes the other bench guys will get. Terry has to decide between CJ and Will at the SG Will, Wright, and Claver at the 3, unless Wes gets those minutes and CJ, Will, and Dame , get more back up minutes at the 2 Then between TROb and Joel at the 4.......too many options until the injuries hit.
I can see 10 deep with players 10 and maybe 9 being more of matchup and who is hot or playing well. Which really is a great thing for us. I can only imagine if Meyers can take the next step to become a serviceable back up. Im not holding my breath but for some reason I have high hopes for a jump in play from him. And really think its realistic to think one of CJ or Thrill will take that next step. We might have a middle of the pack bench this year and that would make us deadly. If you really think about it, who on our bench will get worse this year? Maybe no one.
