What we do know: Hall of fame coach (his legend will only grow once he retires and people look back at the consistency of what he was able to do), with a 40 year resume of nearly unprecedented success and winning. JB has been amazing. He has a formula and that is not going to change.

JB's career has been predicated on hating to lose any game, and cynicism. He has always (always = 40 years) given the lion's share of minutes to those players who he believes will give the team the greatest chance of winning. Period. To be one of those players, you have to earn his trust (this is the cynicism part). And, if JB does not trust you.... In a perfect world, I have little doubt that JB would play his 5 best 35-38 minutes/game, with situational substitutions as absolutely necessary. Short of that, he will play the fewest number of players he can in order to win. Developing depth for depth's sake has never been the goal.

So, unless JB feels that he can "risk" playing 9-10 deep, you can expect to see a 7.5ish rotation, IMO.
