[QUOTE="Niastri, post: 5167372, member: 722"]
With the "scare" of Westry sitting on the exercise bike fresh in my mind, I spent a few minutes thinking about the rotation without Westry.  Our core players will be Lampkin, Freeman, Bell and Starling, with the other starter being in flux (my guess is Lucas Taylor, but reasonable men may differ) and the minutes after the big 4 being matchup and "what have you done for me lately" driven.

I talked myself into liking Lucas Taylor more than Davis recently because of their disparity in shooting and the opportunity cost of Davis being on the floor... We want Bell and Freeman out there whenever possible.

My latest thoughts on rotation and minutes.

Lampkin, McLeod 25-15
Freeman, Davis, Majstorovic 30-8-2
Bell, Davis, Taylor 32-5-3
Starling, Taylor, Moore 32-6-2
Carlos, Taylor, Cuffe 20-10-10

Lampkin 25
McLeod 15
Freeman 30
Davis 13
Bell 32
Taylor 19
Carlos 20
Starling 32
Cuffe 10

Deep bench, Moore, Majstorovic 4

Moore and Majstorovic will have plenty of DNPs, but also get it there for relatively big minutes some games, but mostly the first 9 will rotate in and out.

I think late season, Davis loses minutes as Bell and Freeman need to be out there, and one of the guards not named Starling will also come out of the rotation, as Red trims the do or die lineup to a JB-like 7.5.

Lampkin, McLeod 25-15
Freeman, Davis 35-5
Bell, Davis 35-5
Starling, Guard1 35-5
Guard2, Guard1 25-15

Two late points:

I have no solid guesses as to whom Guard1 and Guard2 will be in this instance.

If you type guard often enough in a short period it stops looking like a real word.

If Westry is healthy and the player I think he is, one of the guards gets pushed down or out of the rotation by Westry. Again, I really have no idea how the order looks right now.
