Sure seems like it is split pretty evenly, then, no? So does that actually tell us anything one way or the other, if it’s split like that?

The 24 minutes to Kanter is silly.
Hezonja’s 18 are inexcusable.
34 minutes to Mudiay are probably viewed as a plan b or plan c for a PG of the future.
Lee’s 10 are somewhere between an attempt to regenerate some interest in him, to waving the white flag on his salary and roster spot.
So yeah, it’s definitely suboptimal.
But the bulk of the minutes still go to players that are, or with high probability could/should be part of the future.

It tells us after 26 games they don’t have a blood clue who is who and Frank got zero minutes. Thanks coach!

Man and Noah’s feet are so huge it’s a minor miracle he never steps out of bounds.

The Future: 99 minutes
The Future Maybe: 52 minutes
The players we don’t want to keep: 89 minutes

Did anyone develop? Did we learn anything new about anyone?

I didn’t watch the game but the minute allocation indicates that the answer is yes. Suboptimal, maybe, but overall sure.

The future (players signed at least through next year, other than Lee):
THJ 33 minutes
Knox 25
Robinson 21
Dotson 20
Total: 99 minutes.

The future maybe, excluding Mudiay because of his cap hold:
Vonleh 34
Trier 18
Total: 52 minutes.

Everyone else: 55 minutes.

Most of the minutes went to players who are, or should be part of the future. All of them other than THJ are young. None of them may become a star, but the roster is what it is.

It seems that the coach direction is to play at least 3 chuckers on the court at all times.

Honestly a lineup without 3 chuckers is, for this squad, a lineup that can’t score at all.

Not that they should have won, of course, as this should have been a loss from the start, but just a general “Did anyone develop? Did we learn anything new about anyone? Or was this just a non-descript loss?”

Robinson had a really cool alley-oop dunk, at least.
