Breaking down the minutes per Player Thread - Preseason Healthy Edition

[bleedspeed]

PG: Rubio - 36, Miller - 12 (Jones in d-league)
SG: Wiggins 24, LaVine 24
SF: Shabazz - 24, Wiggins 12, Prince 12
PF: Bjeclia - 28, KG 20 (Payne in d-league)
C: Towns 28, Dieng 20 (Pek hurt)

Sam can start who he wants but I would like to see minutes divide up like this.

Are you trading Kmart?

[bleedspeed]

Crap. Forgot about him. There is not enough minutes on this team for him and Prince.

Crap! LOL

At least at the beginning, I think Zach is going to be the guy who gets short changed.

I think Bazz and Zach will share the pain...

But I think it will vary based on who is playing well. If K-Mart, or others, are struggling, maybe Zach and/or Bazz see a few more minutes. It seems Wiggins split between SG and SF will roughly 50/50...

We have a D-league team?!?!? Sweet!

This breakdown just shows how tough it is to find minutes and how Sam has a tough job. Heck take Prince out of the equation and you still have a crunch for playing time.

Also you forgot Ruduz. lol No don't worry I didn't expect you to give him any minutes in the breakdown.

PG: Rubio 30, Tyus 12, LaVine 4, Miller 2
SG: Wiggins 10, Martin 20, LaVine 16
SF: Bazz 22, Wiggins 22, Prince 4
PF: KG 12, Bjelica 20, Dieng 6, Rudez 5, Payne 5
C: Towns 26, Dieng 22 (Pek injured)

That was surprisingly difficult.

-I'm assuming they cut LoBrow, which I will kind of regret. He's a good on-the-ball perimeter defender on a team that doesn't have many.

-I'm also assuming Sam will go with a shorter rotation than the one I've laid out here, which is more of yearly averages. If I were the coach, Miller, Prince, Rudez, and Payne would all get DNP-CDs for stretches this season, and I'd increase or reduce other player's minutes based on development and team performance.

-Pek's return (?) will raise some issues.

You see, I thought Bleed just forgot to say in his initial post that Martin was out with back spasms or [name your physical ailment].

I actually think when or if Martin gets traded (or hurt - one of the two are inevitable!), Bleed's post would pretty much be how I'd do things.

Crap. Forgot about him. There is not enough minutes on this team for him and Prince.

Lol, I feel like you leave either martin or shabazz out of every one of these lineup threads.
