Message: [QUOTE="jsshap, post: 1764193, member: 1459"] That makes sense and I agree with a lot of it, not to mention the value of trying to get more kids confidence early (as Hop sought to do a bit more than JB) but the analysis of the optimal # of players in the rotation is different for SU than other teams. From a foul trouble and stamina standpoint, an advantage of the zone is that it mitigates the downside/risk of playing a short bench heavy minutes. So to depart from that -- and in turn lessen the minutes for the best players (with less benefit in the form of protection from foul trouble and higher energy) -- is not the no brainer it sometimes seems to be. To the extent you are suggesting JB should play a deeper bench so that the top players numbers don't get too high and their value inflated, I don't agree with that at all. [/QUOTE]
