Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 2877982, member: 40"] But so what? Your second sentence says it all -- all three were expected to play. Therefore, the expanded rotation is not a function of playing three guys at the center position. Rather, it is a function of having four backcourt guys who can all play [we traditionally have used 3 guys primarily], and 3 guys who can rotate at various positions at forward. Marek plays quite a bit of minutes there, not just at center -- although he certainly saw more minutes in the pivot while Chukwu was benched. 4 + 3 + 2 = 9. The centers [including Marek] comprise 1/3 of that mix. And if Sid doesn't garner minutes moving forward, then the rotation is still at 8 players. And having several players who have positional versatility means that the rotation can be comprised of different combinations of players that can play in various lineup combinations. [/QUOTE]
