My depth chart:

Payton 24/Quickley 20/Rivers 14/Smith
Barrett 32/Burks 20/Ntlikina
Bullock 22/Knox 12/ Brazdeikus
Randle 30 /Toppin 18
Robinson 28/Noel 20/Spellman

Those minutes get shifted around based on health, hot hands and foul trouble. With Quickley and Rivers joint the rotation, I wonder if Payton’s minutes will decrease more.

agree but give Noel's minutes to Knox/Toppin

Ideally, your mins distribution looks good, but this is Thibs we are talking about here, lol. Randle and RJ will average at least 35 minutes per game. Payton has been playing better, so I suspect him to average at least 30 mins per....When his play dips, we can probably shave a few mins off the top.

Yeah, it's like he sets up a minutes plan than forgets all about it by the start of the second quarter. Hopefully he take his foot of the gas as we enter All-Star break.
Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right. - The Tick

Noel has been very good defensively. But I agree Toppin needs to get back on the court

Great...Just wish Woodson wasn't on staff. Can he undermine Thibs because he misses being the boss?

So far I love the Thibs coaching style and hope he will be here for a long time, but I've always had a little concern about having Woodson on the staff. Can't understand why he was hired when he had his chance and did not do well.

Just concerned if deep down inside, privately, he would have some sour grape and undermine Thibs or not put in his best effort and advice just to show it wasn't him.

I keep looking for signs of a Freudian slip, but haven't seen enough comments or interviews to verify.

Do you feel Doc Rivers was "threatened" the past 4 years in LAC? Not sure where these types of thoughts come up from

Woodson had 1.5 good years here otherwise an average career. Thibs is considered a top 5 coach in the nba. I don’t think he feels threatened

Does Thibs feel "Threatened" by Woodson? Is Thibs a teenager?
Did Thibs wnat him? DId he get to pick his assistants?

MDA is assistant to Rivers........Is he threatened?

Woodson if anything is an asset and i'm sure Thibs is not in the least worried by his presence

Woodson loves basketball and loves NY. (As an aside and not sure it's common knowledge but a friend of mine knows him and says Woodson has done extremely well for himself outside of basketball -- he's not coaching because he needs money)

and this passes the basic eye test... Woodson looks HAPPY to be in the role he's in. I love the mix of pro coaching and developmental coaching on the staff that Leon's built.
