It's a bit funny reading through this thread. All preseason Hurley told us about the incredible depth on this team and of course posters bought it, talking about us being 12 deep. Now two weeks from the first game and we can't even field a full team scrimmage.
Who has ever talked about us being
12 deep? The overwhelming consensus is that we are likely running a 10 man rotation to start the year:
Guards: Jackson/Newton/Diarra/Hawkins/Alleyne/Joey
Forwards: Karaban/Sanogo/Johnson/Clingan
No one is expecting Apostolos or Yarin to see anything more than walk-on minutes. They're just practice bodies. Likely the same thing with Springs, again. Having 10 rotation level players with a couple "emergency level" players is about as good of depth as you will find anywhere in the country considering the bottom 2-3 players each year play musical chairs. Practice depth for a
quality 5v5 scrimmage is a wildly different scenario than going into a game with a shortened rotation.
