Can anyone sum up the consensus on KB of minute distribution as things currently stand?
I’m assuming people feel that every minute Brunson is on the bench, that KAT should be on the floor and vice versa. Each averaged 35 minutes last year and maybe those minutes could come down a bit for each both for rest and for improved defense.
Edwards III says that he thinks Yabu will be first off the bench for Mitch.
not consensus because only two people weighed in:
starters: brunson (34) bridges (32) anunoby (32) towns (33) robinson (24)
dynamic bench: hart (23) mcbride (21) clarkson (16) yabusele (15) hukporti (6) dadiet (4)
the rest: mccullar kolek beauchamp diawara
have two of anunoby robinson mcbride on the floor at all times except for of course blowout minutes thats where mccullar kolek beauchamp diawara come into play
More or less that, but I think Dadiet does garbage mop-up for at least the first half of the year and Hart gets those minutes (i.e., 27, not 23) and McBride gets more of Clarkson’s minutes (i.e., 25 or 26, not 21).
As Edwards suggested I think Huk is liable to get more playing time, but it depends on whether they rest Mitch regularly, or because of dings or real injuries. And of course whether Brown is impressed.
Yabu is a black-hole mystery to me. A bit of a rorschach test, too. I’m trying to assume nothing either way, so Doogie’s minutes are a fine guess there for now. I’m very much looking forward to finding out who the real Yabu is, along with the real Clarkson.
I know nothing about Yabusele, but he’s playing for the French team in Eurobasket and I’m going to try to watch some of the games.
