I agree that a 8-9 player rotation is best.
80 minutes for the 1 and 2 spots between DG, Buck, Colvin, and Scotty. Clearly Scott will see all his minutes as the 2, and most of DG and Bucks come at the 1. I don't see DG seeing too much time as a two, unless he or Buck, drastically becomes a better 3-ball shooter. As the season progresses, Buck takes more of DG's minutes, and Colvin takes some of Scott's.
40 minutes for the 3, mostly all from Gilstrap, but Lucca may see some time here. Perhaps when Gilstrap sits, we will go to a three guard line up, and DG sees a little time here.
If Brackins is back he will take 35 or so of the minutes for the 4/5, and the other 45 will be distributed between JVB, Dendy, Hamilton, depending on the situation.
That is 10 players, so if I had to guess, I would say Lucca is the odd man out. I am still high on Lucca, but his overall game needs to improve to the point he is not 1-D. I think on a good team he is a situational player, where some games he sees very limited minutes, others quite a few. Of course if Craig leaves Gilstrap may see sometime at the 4, allowing for Lucca to see more time at the 3.
I love Boozer's effort, but as far as basketball skills go, he is not even 1-D right now. I think his role will be similar to Lee's, more of a motivational attempt by McD when everyone else is going through the motions. Pomlee will hopefully have another year to refine his game before called upon. He should be a good player for us in the future if he hangs in there and keeps working hard.
DG 20-30 minutes
Buck 10-15 minutes
Colvin 10-15 minutes
Scott 20-30 minutes
Gilstrap 30 minutes
Brackins 35 minutes
Hamilton 15-20 minutes
JVB 15-20 minutes
Dendy 15-20 minutes
