Great thread. Both sides posting valid arguments with supporting information, instead of name calling and opinion. Lots of posts deserve rep here.
Just for comparison:

J Evans 9.4 7.5 5.5
Dwill 28.8 36.9 37.3
This is all over the board, so I would like to hear thoughts. It is very clear that management really liked Dwill. Brewer seems to have earned his minutes, CJ also earned them after his best season in his 3rd yr and jumped to 22 mpg in yr #4. Millsap was a guy who worked his way up as well.
If I had to pick a theme it would be that historically guys haven't got mins until at least 21 yrs old. It appears that Favors is the exception here to an extent. If minutes say what the franchise believes about the C4, Hayward is a keeper (a bit more than a rotation player), and the other 3 look promising with Favors being the furthest along (yet not progressing much).
I would like to see a slow deliberate transition to the C4 being the new face of the franchise. At this point, Hayward is the only one that has seen a significant uptick in mins, the other 3 are barely increasing.
