Six minutes for Olynyk?  Zero for Pressey?  Fire Stevens!

Once Rondo is at full strength, how many minutes do you envision for Pressey (assuming it isn't a blowout... which may not always be a great assumption...)

Considering our current depth at PG, and that this will most assuredly be a "player development" season, I would expect Pressey to get fairly regular, though not major, minutes backing up Rondo.  I expect that Rondo will average fewer minutes per game than he ever has this season, since he's coming off a major injury and the team isn't going to be focused on winning (lots of blowout losses).

When we've got a reasonably set rotation I think you'll see Pressey out there for anywhere between 8 and 16 minutes a game, for better or for worse.  I'm pretty sure he'll be a more capable point guard than Bradley or Crawford is likely to be.
You’ll have to excuse my lengthiness—the reason I dread writing letters is because I am so apt to get to slinging wisdom & forget to let up. Thus much precious time is lost.
