Lineups/minutes
Starters:
Cp3
Book
Ayton
Crowder
Bridges
Who comes in when cp3 goes out? I'm curious what you guys think the substitution patterns will be.
It is a lot tougher this season because we have rookie and some vets who could be contributors right away.
Last season, it was eh, lets try to give Okobo or Jerome some playing time to develop them.
I think Dario and Cam Johnson are clear rotation players. Saric should be the first sub for Ayton, Johnson for Bridges, and either Johnson or Saric at the 4 depending on the matchup. I'm assuming Smith is brought along slowly.
The tougher area to predict (of course) is the guard rotation. I think Cam Payne has the most upside and I am hoping he wins the battle to be the first guard off the bench. There's a good chance he doesn't though, and if that happens my best guess would be that the first guard off the bench would then change based on the situation.
For now, I'll guess:
Minutes at the 1- Paul (30), Payne (12), Booker (3), Galloway (3)
Minutes at the 2- Booker (32), Moore (10), Galloway (3), Carter (3)
Of course, all those mpg averages should go up thanks to injuries and COVID.
