You give Mitchell 24 mins and you give Knox 24 mins, then you have Portis play backup center, Randle starts with Morris playing some backup PF, Knox stars with Morris playing backup Sf, and the Dotson starts with Trier as backup. You then give RJ a few minutes at backup SG and backup SF. You then have Smith and Payton run the point. that is a ten man rotation. Injuries will also free up some minutes. It is doable and now Fiz has all the talent and experience he needs to win more games.
Morris will start at SF.
I can very well see Fizz starting all vets in the starting lineup.
Portis, Randle, Morris, Ellington, Payton
Then backing them all up with the youngins.
Robinson, Knox, Barrett, Trier, Smith
With the possibility that Smith and Payton swap. Allowing Payton to work more with the younings while Smith works more with the vets.
