Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4381649, member: 11664"] I think that there's going to be a lot of interchangeable players on this team which puts many of them in a wildcard position regarding their PT. And it's going to be difficult for any player to get more than 25 minutes of PT per game unless they're at the top of a category or needed for the team to operate at peak performance, i.e.- to put a game away. At least until Geno determines who the most effective & efficient players are, and it should be based on this year's performance and not necessarily seniority or last year. Most players are going to have shortened PT to start off the year with a lot of substituting going on as Geno experiments and evaluates each of their growth, potential, limitations etc... He's going to need to figure out the best scoring packages, rebounders and ball handlers, and then see which combos are the most productive. I'll bet that he'll want new players to get game experience & on the learning curve as early as possible. That's how the new stars & team leaders will emerge. Then it's rinse & repeat, rinse & repeat over & over until the big games are played. And then he'll make adjustments based on game results & individual performances. [/QUOTE]
