Rotation sample

Starting unit

Horford
Tatum
Brown
Richardson
Smart

1st wave off bench unit

TL
Langford
Nesmith
Pritchard
Schroder

2nd wave off the bench unit  (could see some mins or DNP)

Kanter
Gwilliams
Parker
Dunn

Extras
Edwards, Fernando

The Nets ran a system where Irving and Durant both sat out together about 3min mark of the 1st quarter.   Even when Harden wasn't on the team.   IF the objective was to keep KD and Irving fresh while also build a roster that was not only reliant on these two for offense.  It worked

Should the Celtics explore the idea of sitting both Brown and Tatum at the same time (breaks).   Force the bench to pull their own weight on the offensive end??

I like having two of Schroder, Tatum and/or Jaylen on the floor at all times to give a foundation to the offense. Two shot-creators. Two guys who can create off the bounce.

IMO, CIU might try to sneak 2-3 minute intervals at the end of a quarter every now and then with both on the bench, but we're probably a really bad offensive team with both out (although, we could put a very good defensive unit on the floor). Nesmith would probably have to take a big leap forward for that to work, and that's not something you can force. He has to be ready for it.

I'd be fine with a young guy lineup i.e. Williams, Williams, Nesmith, Langford, Pritchard.  Sink or swim and see how they do.

They'd sink.  Running out lineups like hockey line changes is bad enough.  Running out essentially a summer league lineup for chunks of minutes at a time on a playoff team would be disastrous.

Teams need to put their players in a position to succeed.

I'd like one of the Js in at all times but I'd settle for Schro, PP, and Nesmith with drives and 3s for spurts.

obviously not as a starting unit, but for bench minutes here and there, I'd be fine with that.  would help those guys by having them play above their normal role.
