Minute distribution between Lyles, Booker, and Pleiß?

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Gobert, Favors, Kanter is no competition? Go back to the Lakers forums.

Gobert and Favors started. Booker only got 22 mpg post-All-Star (which is basically post-Kanter). When Kanter was there he was getting 18 mpg. So when our big rotation was 1 deeper, he got 4 less mpg than when he had 0 competition to being the main backup.

I like this idea. One problem: Burke is not worth 32 minutes, and I don't think he'll get those unless he's made serious improvement.

If you want the best defense in the league to go from 38% shooting defense to 44%. Defense wins championship. We FINALLY have winning basketball and fans fight it because Trey puts a dick pic on twitter.

Only so many minutes in a game. You want a BACKUP to play 32 minutes? LLF

Whoever plays better gets more minutes.

Duh

So who plays better and gets what amount of minutes?
That is what is being discussed.

This thread was not made to discuss whether playing better gets a player more minutes than playing worse. We all know about that principle already

I see Lyles getting a lot of DNPs - coaches decision.

Can Booker play the 3?

If it were Jerry, YES. With Quinn, hope not. Lyles may not be ready, but hell yes, throw him into the fire!

Good question. Personally I'd like to go the Spurs route and keep our starters minutes down, especially early in the year. This keeps them healthier and fresher and gets our young bench guys PT which they sorely need. Sadly, the biggest exception to this may be Burke.

Burke (32) -Neto/Cotton (16)
Hood (10)-Burks (30) - Millsap (8)
Hayward (30)- Hood (20)
Favors (20) - Booker (18) - Lyles (10)
Gobert (30) - Favors (10) - Pleiss (8)

Something like this. If we're doing well, the main 7-8 guys can play a bit more in February-April.

I just got sick to my stomach seeing burke get that many minutes. I could see Lyles getting a few minutes at the 3

Hayward, Favors and Gobert should be getting around 33-35 minutes a game. I'd prefer Trey only getting about 25 mins a game.

So excited to see Lyles grow in Quinn's system.

That's not what Ty Corbin said.

If we stick with Burke, Neto, & Cotton at PG, I doubt that there will be an established minute allocation unless one of them really separates themselves from the others. My guess is that minutes will be determined by matchups & performance. If I had to guess (assuming that we stick with the PG trio for the entire year), I would say that it's starts off as:

Burke: 24
Neto: 14
Cotton: 10

& ends up:

Neto: 22
Burke: 14
Cotton: 12

It's difficult to predict how this will play out as I believe who starts at PG will be influenced by who ends up starting at SG & it would obviously change if Snyder decides to try Burks out at the point. Unless Burke miraculously turns into a pass 1st PG who doesn't force his own shot, Neto turns out to be a prolific passer with above-average defense, or Cotton vastly improves on the defensive side of the ball, I'm not completely confident in any of these options. I still believe that our eventual starter isn't currently on the roster yet, unless one of the above scenarios occurs or Snyder decides to go with a non-traditional option such as playing Burks at PG or starting Millsap & having him guard opposing PG's while running the offense thru Hayward & Hood (or Burks).
