Yeah it'll be interesting.

I'm not sure we'd play Cole-Gaffney-Hawkins-Polley-Akok if you make strictly just those rotation changes you outlined, but I do think that's illustrative of a problem with the distribution of our best players. Our 2 best big men (the starters) are the biggest physically also, so we probably want to keep at least 1 of them in to play center for most of the time. So then you're ending up with a logjam at the 4 between the Whaley/Sanogo 2nd when both in, Akok, Johnson, Springs, and "small" (or maybe better coined versatile) options Jackson, Martin, or Polley, all of whom could hold their own defensively against some teams and some lineups. 7 players could reasonably play the 4 and only 2 can shown they can play the 5. If Akok can prove he's strong/tough enough to give us minutes at the 5, that'll help ease the minutes crunch somewhat.

The rotation is impossible. There's going to be a lot of hot hand decisions between Gaffney/Hawkins/Jackson/Polley.
