The 9 rotation guys are:

Gobert
Bogdanovic
O'Neale
Mitchell
Conley
Whiteside
Gay
Ingles
Clarkson

There are a few days until the next preseason game and this might be the last time we care about a lot of the other guys, so no better time to rank them:

Doke
Bolden
Paschall
Fitts
Alston
Hughes
Oni
Teague
Butler
Forrest

Butler
Paschall
Forrest

Does it really matter after that? I think the rest of the roster is full of not NBA caliber players.

Not really, but still interested in where people think the other players stand. For me it's:

Butler

Paschall
Oni
Forrest
Hughes

Udoka
Fitts
Alston
Bolden
Teague
 
I realize it’s fun for us fans to speculate on this stuff as we await the start of regular season basketball but any list of rotation players that doesn’t have Jared Butler in it is invalid at this point.

I fully understand that Quin is pretty cemented in his 9 man rotation habits, but with the pre season Butler is putting together, we’re basically at the point in which if Quin actually tries to cut this kid out of the rotation
to begin the season, JZ, Ryan Smith and D-Wade are gonna have a sit down and remind him that this isn’t the Miller era Utah Jazz anymore.

Whether there’s a surprise player out of the 9 man rotation, or we actually see Quin play 10, Butler is getting some type of minutes opening night and will continue to get those minutes until his play demands more, or he somehow manages to play his way out of the rotation. Something I don’t see happening.
 
Butler is pretty much the only one I'm invested in making the rotation at some point. After that, IDK.
 
Most of these guys we've barely seen play. If I had to rank today would go Butler, Pashall, Forrest, Hughes, Oni, Teague, Dok, Fitts, Bolden, Alston. I'll probably change my ranking at the end of preseason.

Butler is by far our most promising prospect since Don. For a small market team we can't screw this up. I get that we have a tight championship contending window, but we have to make Butler's development a priority.

Luckily, based on what we are seeing, Butler should both help us with load management for our aging players as well as develop in to our next rotation player.

I think he’ll get enough playing time through load management/injuries. The whole off-season I was wanting a bigger trade because I don’t believe in this group to win it all. Bogey, Clarkson, Ingles etc are all very good players…but if we could consolidate two of those players into a better player with a more highly desired skill set that would be huge.

If Butler shows out, I think it opens the door for that type of move.
