will depth keep players minutes down?

[otherdave]

Assuming no more trades til at least Feb, we've got a deep squad.  Obviously individual match ups, small ball vs not, in game and late game scenarios will dictate the players minutes.  But GENERALLY  speaking I would love to see no one averaging too much above 30 minutes.

Have the 1st unit play all out on both sides, taking no plays off, then unleash the fresh legs of the second unit.  Imagine being hounded by Avery, and then see Marcus/Terry all in your business!  I am really hoping our second unit will dominate the other team's second unit on most nights.

Is it November yet?

It's a nice thought for regular season to keep the minutes low. But playoffs the depth needs to be mainly 8 very strong players with two more guys filling in spot minutes.
The main 8=IT, AB, Smart, Crowder, Green, Hordford, AJ, KO
Spot minute guys=JJ and Rozier

Ideally I'd trade for another big man upgrade. Say AJ, KO, JJ and Clippers 1st+ Grizz 1st +C's 2018 picks for Milsap.
Or the same players but picks Nets 2018+Clippers 1st+Grizz 1st for Griffin.

Then main 8= IT, AB, Smart, Crowder, Green, Milsap/Griffin, Hordford, Zeller.
Spot minute guys=Rozier, Mickey

So no Jaylen Brown come playoff time?

I don't think so unless there are injuries.

We got a full season before we can see if he is good enough for Playoff.

I posted something along this idea last year when I thought we were deep then!

Keep the depth and run teams into the ground!

The Celtics don't have much diffence between starting 5 and next 5. Run run run

Milsap and Horford never got ATL over the hump what makes you think it would work here?

Depth will help. I doubt we'll see any of our guys in the top mpg category. Hopefully Brown can carve himself out a significant role in the rotation.

IT, AB, Crowder, Green, Smart, BS, DA, and it's the C's.
