q-rich 15 min? not happening

q-rich 15 min? not happening

I think it's more likely we see a 9 man rotation with Q getting closer to 25, and Chandler riding the pine.

I agree with the big men and Forwards, but Marbury 25 minutes??? And there's no way Collins gets 18 mins at the same time Robinson gets 20/25.
We better clean the roster a bit before we give the players the minutes per game.

still not sre about the jefferies hate-athon.

he's in the mix, nate and collins' minutes will be eaten by q at the 2 and balkman won't see as much time as the summer league suggests.

if this is a wish list, i'm almost on board, but jeffries jumper was equal to balk and lee, and he brike his wrist to start the season.

he still takes charges and mans the zone defense best of the bunch.

if he sucks in preseason...he's traded, but what i've seen i'm impressed enough to want him in there for man defense over nate, lee and balk. (that's man to man defense)

I doubt we can run a three man rotation at Prower Forward and Center, no team can.

I think it would be
Curry 32
Zach 32
Lee 22
James/Rose/Morris 10(not all, just one of them, another on the bench and last could be cut)
Balkman 21
Q 25
Crawford 30
Marbury 30
Nate 18
Collins 14
JJ2

IR-Nichols
IR-Chandler

Cut Jones or Rose/James & Dick

Curry has never played 36 mpg. His minutes probably stay at around 31.

Your numbers don't add up............

Center = Curry about 35 mins/ Zach will get at least 8 minutes here, and JJ2 could see about 5 mins here when Isiah goes small. (keep in mind, a line up of JJ2, Lee and Zach could all be on the floor at the same time for short stretches and all are interchangable which makes labeling, PF, SF and Center irrelevant.)

PF = Zach at least 26 minutes at PF (with an additional 8 mins at Center which would give him about 34 mins per game)
PF = Lee will get the remaining mins at PF (22) with perhaps some spot duty at SF (5) which would give him about 28-29 mins per night.

SF = Q will get about 20 mins here. 22 mins remain (if Lee gets 5 mins here aswell) to split between Balk (15) and JJ2 (7)(plus 5 at center which would give him 12 mins per night)

SG = Craw will start and get about 34 mins per. Q slide in at times and get about 5 mins (25 altogether for Q). The remaining 9-10 minutes will go to Nate.

PG = Marb will get about 34 aswell. The remaining 14 to Mardy.

Also, the injury factor will play a big role especially concerning Q who will certainly miss time this year. That should also up Balks minutes at certain points and maybe some spot duty for Chandler/Nichols at some point.

If Nate plays anything like he is now I think he may get more than 10 minutes.

I think it depends on how well he is playing. If he's hot, you ride him which will cut into Mardy's minutes, if he's off, you yank him.

Get rid of Nate, don't be fooled by him schooling Summer League players. The Knicks have enough scorers and need a player who actually thinks before he does something.
