Message: [QUOTE="Sphinx, post: 3947161, member: 4623"] It's really hard to settle on next year's rotation except to say that the outliers right now seems to be Springs, Johnson and Akok. The other nine all have (or will likely earn) a legitimate claim to time, and because of the overload at the 3 (Martin, Jackson, Polley), I would think that we will see some natural 3's playing the 4. If Polley comes back as a 40% 3-pt shooter and can consistently finish that baseline move he occasionally flashed last year, then he will hard to bump from the 3. The congestion at the 3 may become even more pronounced if Cole, Gaffney and Diggins become a 3-man rotation at the 1 and 2. Such a rotation keeps two men with PG skills on the floor at all times, something Dan Hurley, I think, would like to see It would, however, throw Hawkins into the congestion at the 3. The result of that would likely be a 4-man rotation at the two corners with Whaley permanently moved to the 5 to split time with Sanogo. It's an embarrassment of riches, for sure. The wildcard is that there are studs in that mix that could end up demanding time at any price. I speak of Jackson, Hawkins, Diggins and Sanogo. It may well become clear that these four must play, and everyone else must be fit in around them. And if Akok comes back healthy, the stud count become five. [/QUOTE]
