[QUOTE="arbitragegls, post: 43129, member: 302"]
We have been told and have seen, MM and initial practice, that we are loaded this year.  So how does JB alot time to so many good players.  Here is my thoughts...not to say this is right, but what a cool strategy...
Starters:  Melo, Joseph, Scoop, Triche, Christmas
Next-up:  Keita, CJ, Waiters, MCW, Southerland

What is interesting about this approach is that 4 of the second 5 played minutes last year and Keita, CJ and Waiters played important roles and lots of minutes.  MCW is looking to be a star and Southerland may be one of most athletic on team (and we have Cooney to back up and be the zone beater if needed 3s).

This would be dual units that would be fresh and capable for all 40 minutes of a game...how much time the 2nd unit gets is dependent on score, game tactics etc.  But I do not think any other team could hang with these ten for 40 minutes of basketball...and, it finally breaks the 7-8 men getting time per game...and it allows the 2nd unit to know its players well so roles will be understood unlike coming off the bench and playing one or two fresh guys with the starters...
