Two glaring roster holes. Will Ingles and Millsap give us the shooting we need at the backup 3? Their defense is competent enough. Getting Rudy a backup is priority #1 for this team. We simply cannot risk the dude's health. Idgaf if it's Pleiss, or we fill it with the draft pick-- get the man a back up.


Next off-season we can look at our pieces, and make splashes in FA depending on if we have any weaknesses (like PG play, if Exum and Burke don't develop ).

I think our only hole is backup 5. You can have three players play the 2 and 3 spots. Hayward and Hood can play the two or three. Hayward, Hood and Burks can each get 30 mins. They have Millsap and Ingles have 2-3 mins each. I really like our 2/3 rotation right now.

Do you think we'll see plenty of minutes with Hood, Burks, and Hayward on the floor at the same time? Why or why not?

I don't think we will see a lot of all three on the floor at the same time.

I dunno. Maybe we will, but I think we'd see them at the 2, 3, and 4 instead of the 1, 2, and 3. I still think Utah brings in another PG

I think Exum's mins go up and I think Burke takes a big step forward not having to shoulder the scoring load.

That being said, I can't wait for summer league to see Exum. I want to see this new and improved kid. If he has any aggression to his game...

Here is to hoping.

Would you mind putting together a depth chart with these pieces and estimating their average minutes? Dal, you too?

So in order of importance, it seems we need;

1) Either a backup C or a stretch 4.
2) Better shooting from the wings.
3) More veteran leadership/playmaking at PG.

Looks like our best trade bait without giving up tooo much is Burks.

144mins
Exum
Burks
Hood
Hayward

96 mins
Booker
Favors
Gobert

Not rotational players
trade bait/spot mins/injury insurance
Burke
Jingles
Sap
Cotton
blah blah blah

We are short 1-2 rotation guys. There is no rush to make it 3 by dumping Burks, imo.

Exum (29 mins)/Burke (18 mins)/3rd PG (6 mins)
Hood (15 mins)/Burks (28 mins)/Millsap (8 mins)
Hayward (30 mins)/Hood (14 mins)/ Ingles (8 mins)
Favors (23 mins)/Booker (20 mins)/Somebody else (8 mins)
Gobert (30 mins)/Favors (10 mins)/Somebody else (10 mins)

That's how I see it going. I think Exum gets around 29-31 mins. (PG/SG)
Burke 18-20 mins (PG)
Burks 28-30 (SG)
Hayward 30-33 (SG/SF/PF)
Hood 28-30 (SG/SF)
Favors 30-33 (PF/C)
Gobert 30-33 (C)

The rest are all scrubs and easily interchanged.
 
You can even slide Exum to the two for 3-5 mins to increase mins for Burke and decrease Hood's mins or slide Hayward down to the four, Hood to the three, etc.

I think Utah puts Exum at the two before they put Hood, Burks, or Hayward at the one.
 
The way I see it Burke's value further decreases because Burks comes back/Draft Pick/Free agency resulting in fewer mins. Give the kid the change of scenery he needs and focus on finding the guys that fit.
