He will return to the starting lineup hopefully.

STarters

Smart
Bradley
Crowder
Sully
Amir

With

Isaiah
Turner
KO
Lee

being the main cogs off the bench.  Jerebko, Rozier, Mickey, RJ, Zeller should all figure in the mix. I think Jerebko and Rozier would be my picks right now to extend the rotation. What do you think?

The ten man rotation seems fairly set to me:

Smart/Isaiah
Bradley/Turner
Crowder/Jerebko
Sully/Lee
Johnson/Olynyk

As needed: Zeller

Back and forth between active roster and D-League:  Young and the Youngsters

Something like this. Maybe IT starts more but I doubt it once Smart returns.

As far as minutes depending on who is playing well I'd ultimately like to get Smart, Bradley, Isaiah, Crowder, Sully, and KO about 30 mpg. I think they are our most talented players optimally.  I don't know if KO or Sully are ready for that but Amir, Lee and Turner can get about 20-25 in that mix I figure.  Maybe cut down on Sully and KO's minutes a bit depending on who is playing well.  Same with everyone else.

My math is probably off somewhere there and just a rough estimate but I hope you get the idea.

This is what I was preaching in the summer! Glad it's come to pass, I'll admit to being slightly worried by Stevens' infatuation with Zeller over Sully in pre season, but it seems to have worked out as it should!

I wouldn't be against giving mickey lees current minutes. Something about Lee getting blocked more often than IT4 is somewhat worrying.

depends how long he is out, and how well we do and if he is 100% when he comes back. Most likely he gets the starting spot back but if we win a few more games maybe we just stay with what is working.

Agree with this. Except I'd point out that last game Jerebko initially came in at the 4 and then was pushed to the 3 after Lee came in much later. I wouldn't be shocked if Stevens only played Lee for a very short stint or wasn't even included in the second unit going forward.

I would say, don't sleep on Rozier and RJ Hunter...I have a feeling they're gonna be used sooner rather than later

. . . until Sully / Crowder / Jerebko / Turner / whoever struggles and the team drops a couple games.

Just saying, let's not pretend there's a set rotation here.  Our roster resembles the utensils drawer in your kitchen and Brad's not afraid to use every fork, knife, and chopstick in there.

I'm thinking:

Smart
Bradley
Crowder
Lee
Sully

IT
Turner
Jerebko
Johnson
KO

Which ironically means Zeller should be getting the most minutes, so as to raise his trade value.  Ideally we could trade 2 bigs or 2 bigs + 1 perimeter for an all-star big.

Only because Stevens' scheme favors bigs who can shoot the 3.

KO is considered an excellent defender by advanced metrics and Johnson's our best individual defender and team defender, so I like the two of them covering for IT and Turner.

Lee and Sully should be able to focus on their guys because Smart/AB/Crowder are so strong at stopping perimeter penetration.

2nd unit has tons of spacing for IT.

If we keep playing well with IT in the starting lineup, then Smart either plays the three and Crowder sits or comes off the bench.

This is why I don't read advanced metrics.
