we all know frank does interesting substitutions, but what do you guys think about the playing time next year? obviously marbury, marion and amare will receive lots of mins, but know with our roster getting deeper, those guys seem like the only ones that might play over 30 mins. (i say might becuase you never know with frank)

with barbosa and zarko added to our roster, it will be interesting to see how the mins get shared.

starters:

1.marbury
2.penny
3.marion
4.amare
5.big jake(lets say for now:))

backups:

1.barbosa
2.johnson, jacobsen
3.????
4.googs, outlaw
5.little jake, scott williams???


it will be interesting to see where zarko can play. i think center agaist smaller teams would be nice, but we have a need to back up marion.

our lineup is looking pretty good. lack of bench scoring killed us last year. who will get the playing time from the backup list?

Backups at the 3

Johnson, Zarko, Penny, even Bo

All are quite capable of putting in quality minutes at the 3.

Quality Backups (in rank):

Backups who could start some-

JJ - I think he will almost split mins w/ Penny
Outlaw - Defense, provides a 1 man full court press
Lil Jake- Energy, Offensive rebounds

Backups who will play quality mins -

Zarko - depending on the team were facing on how many mins - will play a good amount

Big Jake - depending on the team were facing on how many mins

Barby - Will play a good amount, especially if he lears a lot of english

Other Backups -

CJ - will play limited role., unless he improves greatly in offseason

Scott Williams - mainly here for the same reason as Mark Grace on the DBacks. He keeps things loose and he is a big body.
