Let the Jeff Withey Era Begin!

Id prefer we limit Favs and Gobert to 30-32 max minutes, in the interests of longevity and injury management(save their knees, backs). Having Withey get all the backup C minutes and Lyles all the PF backup minutes is fine by me.
Bookers grabbed some big rebounds in the last couple of games, but long term and future wise FO see Lyles part of the long term outlook.
I would also love to see Withey locked up long term, he's earned himself a job

I liked Withey the first time I saw him in the exhibition season -- I had never seen him play before. I was surprised that he wasn't getting any minutes at the start of the season. But he sure has earned himself a place on the team now.

Balls busted.

I think Favors should play no minutes at center once Rudy is back. Booker or Lyles play backup pf minutes. At very least Withey has become a tradeable asset in the Ish Smith ilk.

Nah but he netted two good second rounders from philly.

Hell no

I hope when Favors returns that Withey still starts at center and Favors plays the PF. It would make for a smoother transition for Favors and the rest of team when Gobert returns. Plus Withey is playing winning basketball on both ends.

Dunno.... Lyles is finally starting to click.

I agree.

Agree as well, but when Favs does return slowly increase his minutes back to 32,Lyles/Book have a shot at the rest.
