primary pg off the bench does that mean they still won't share duties? I'd have to think Smart has to play some pg this year.Rozier can primarily play the backup point but he and smart are still pretty interchangeable. Rozier can play off the ball and at sg. Smart can go to the 3 and even the 4 in situations. So if Terry is the primary he will be getting minutes at the 1 and 2 even still. Smart will getting minutes at 1-4. Bradley and Crowder are going to play 25-30 minutes a game too and Jaylen has to be worked in as well as Green and Jerebko. It's not going to be easy. With KO at the 4 and 5 and Zeller being primarily a center.
Crowder will swing to pf as well. But he and bradley are going to be getting in the high 20's. Isaiah is going to get 30-40 minutes a game. Same with Horford.
That's going to leave about 20 minutes at each position to get 5 guys close to that. Terry may get 15-20. Smart is going to get close to 30 but might get closer to 25 this year again. KO will get his 20 easy t his year. Jaylen is going to get 20. Then there are about 20 minutes left for Green, Zeller and Jerebko to fight over from game to game and maybe a Young, Jackson, Mickey or Hunter sighting in there. Am I forgetting anyone??
I expect Amir is going to get about 20 mpg this year as a starter.
Rozier is our primary pg off the bench if you look at our depth chart. But I think they will still share duties. I think that's what Ainge means?
Pg-Isaiah, Rozier, Jackson
SG-Bradley, Smart, Green
SF-Crowder, Jaylen, Jerebko
PF-Amir, KO, Mickey
C-Horford, Zeller
Our guys are interchangeable though.. Young, Hunter, Bentil are battling for a spot. Nader, Yab and Zizic are already stashed. You can only suit up 13 so Mickey and Young or whoever probably won't even be active most games depending on injuries or matchups..
Rozier is isaiah's backup. He's similar in size and his role in the offense is similar as a pace setter and guy who will get in the lane and can shoot. Isaiah gets hurt though. Smart could start. It all depends..
We've subtracted Turner and Sully and are adding Terry, Jaylen and Horford to the rotation. I expect everyone's minutes will stay the same. TErry and Jaylen and Horford will just split Sully and Turners minutes with some adjustments. Amir's role may diminish some due to Horford etc.. Terry and Jaylen can basically just split Turners minutes. Jerebko and Zeller may have a lesser role this year to make room for Green where they may split minutes this year where we play matchups whether we need shooting, or whatever..
There should be good battles going on at least. Green is going to be vying for time. I don't want to trade anyone.
