Going back to last year, Finch had an 8-man rotation plus a half here and there. That half was initially Minott for a month or so starting in December. Apparently, Finch tired of Minott and switched to Clark in January. Shannon recovered from has ankle injury and started getting minutes in February, aided by Randle's month long groin injury. So, we closed the season with our 8-man rotation and a half or two from Clark and Shannon.
Entering this season, we assumed Shannon would grab the 8th spot in the rotation, and Clark and Dilly would get that half or two. But between Shannon's foot injury and Clark's impressive +/-, Clark is the one who seems to own the 8th spot.
I find it interesting that Joan has spent no time in Iowa. As we start off the month of December, do you think Dilly is on the verge of being "Minotted", opening up those spare "10th" man minutes for Joan? He has the potential to add rim protection and rebounding that we lack when Rudy goes to the bench. It's something to keep an eye on this month...
