Players aren't robots, you cant just throw guys out there for sporadically for 15 minutes and expect them to be in rhythm. There's a reason this team took off after Thibs shortened the rotation last year.
We have too many guys that deserve minutes, shots and touches. Evan, Sims and Miles are all rotation players in this league.
Grimes, DDV, Hart and IQ all deserve more minutes too. Their minutes are all way down this year, heck Hart is at a career low!.
I hope these guys can find their rhythm, but in a perfect world we consolidate in a trade. We are set up perfectly for a 2 or 3 for 1 trade, but until then, minutes are going to be really hard to come by for some guys.
There's nothing unusual about a 9 man rotation, most teams really play 8 main guys and a couple of other guys situational minutes.
Our issue is we have 9-10 guys that really should all be playing 25mpg+and there's simply not enough minutes to do that.
