Ok, Brad Stevens has 35 minutes to hand out now. The remaining Brown, Tatum, Smart, Kemba are maxed.
Wanamaker
Semi
Grant
Maybe Romeo
Each pick up some minutes.Be interesting to see what Stevens does
Here's what I would do in game 2
(given that Romeo isn't 100% healthy)
PG: Kemba (35) - Wanamaker (13)
SG: Smart (35) - Brown (13)
SF: Brown (27) - Semi (21)
PF: Tatum (40) - Grant ( 8 )
C: Theis (26) - Kanter (11) - Timelord (11)
or something along these lines
Thing is, Semi didn't play a single minute in game 1. If CBS doesn't trust him, we could give Wanamaker all backup minutes at the PG-SG positions and move Brown full time at the SF position.
PG: Kemba (35) - Wanamaker (13)
SG: Smart (35) - Wanamaker (13)
SF: Brown (40) - Grant ( 8 )
PF: Tatum (40) - Grant ( 8 )
C: Theis (26) - Kanter (11) - Timelord (11)
This means that Kemba and Wanamaker would be sharing the floor for 13 minutes. Neither of them is tall enough to defend Philly's perimeter players (shortest one is Milton at 6'5). We won't be able to switch ball screens on the perimeter anymore. Hopefully, we can hide Kemba on Thybulle.
Fwiw, the C's switch 18-on ball picks per 100 possessions. That's 2nd most in the league behind only the Rockets.
