It's a little early. But I think I have it figured out somewhat. With the signing of Amir and Jerebko our 10 man is pretty much set.  Stevens works other  guys in depending on situation and who is filling roles as the season goes and I don't expect this year to be any different.  But I see it like this. Trades are going to happen as well where we maybe trade someone and pick up an additional scorer or low post guy, but right now these guys are on lock

Isaiah Rozier
Bradley Smart
Crowder Brown
Amir KO
Horford

That leaves Jerebko as the 10th guy if we go small where Amir and KO would shift to center.  Rozier and Smart are going to battle it out who takes Turners role in the offense and who plays more off the ball.  Rozier may win out there, but that will be in question early on I think.  Brown and Jerebko are also going to battle for minutes. 

That leaves guys like Hunter and young battling for minutes as that extra shooter. Mickey also may battle to get some time if we want to go bigger vs smaller depending on matchups.

Sully and Zeller really cloud things imo.  It's good to keep them I guess for trade scenarios but it's too many guys. 

Bentil and Jackson are either going to be stashes or left off the roster all together. Zizic already is a stash and Yab  is still in question how he even fits here with Jerebko back besides additional depth as a big who can range out and is versatile.

I expect the c's to still look at trade options involving guys like Crowder, Smart, Rozier, Jaylen etc where we could get another legit star in here.  Even upgrading Isaiah for a guy like Westbrook is an option but I think this is more the media. Westbrook is a great player and I'm not married to Isaiah or anything.

We may decide to keep a guy like Jackson or Yab on the roster over Young as well if he really doesn't do much.  Even Thornton could make the roster in that situation.

Sully and Zeller make this team that's pretty much it for our big man rotation. 

Ranking our roster 1-14

1. Isaiah
2. Horford
3. Crowder
4. Bradley
5. Amir
6. Smart
7. KO
8. Rozier
9. Jaylen
10. jerebko
11. Hunter
12. Mickey

13. jackson/young
14. Bentil/Yab

Sully and Zeller come back that basically knocks Mickey or jackson/young and Bentil or Yab off the roster. Havng Sully and Zeller here also cuts into jaylen, jerebko, hunter and mickey' s potential minutes.

Rozier is really the guy here who has a legitament shot with Turner gone.  Jaylen too but people are going to be disapointed if he doesnt even play.  I hope he gets a shot as well particularly over jerebko.  He was the 3rd pick here.  He has to play imo.  Doc used to get a lot of flack for not playing young players.  We don't play the 3rd pick here it's not as easy as it sounds.
