Another way to make the point might be; if we had an injury or foul trouble to Battle, Howard or OB do we have depth that will allow us to put together a cohesive (not same competitive level) lineup and still have a sub for those positions.    Almost all of our depth at the 1-3 positions comes from one player (Carey), I guess that changes a little bit if MD's development over the last couple of games continues such that we can play with both MD and one of the centers on the court at the same time as we did against Clemson.   There have been points in the season where playing two of MD, BS and PC is like playing 3-1/2 v. 5 on offense.   In those games you could do it to plug a hole and ensure you have 5 guys on the court, but it wasn't pretty.   Again, the MD that we saw against Clemson and at times throughout the season resolves the issue to a point.

I guess there are two potentially distinct issues.  Does the depth/rotation allow you to (i) keep everyone fresh and (ii) have reasonable lineup alternatives in the event of injury/foul difficulty.
