Wing rotation on non-blowout and non b2b games?

[apalisoc_9]

Kyle, Leonard, Simmons, Manu, Danny, Butler( if he makes it) will be the team wings...

I'm guessing Simmons and Anderson will fight for the fourth wing player.

I imagine it would be something like this

Leonard 35
Green 30
Manu 25
Kyle, Simmons or Butler 8 minutes.

There is no way Manu is playing 25 minutes, I would give Manu 20 minutes MAX & Kyle about 15 mins.

these aren't average games though.

these are rested games against meaningful opponents.

I can totally see Manu playing 25 in that situation.

Rested games against meaningful opponents:

Kawhi 35-40
Danny 25-30
Manu 25-30
Butler 0-10 (experienced, Beli replacement)
Simmons 0 (too young)
Ninehead 0 (too ty)

Pop doesn't care much until the postseason & will most likely be playing mad scientist in the regular season.

somewhat true, but the rotation has always been different against elite teams even in the regular season.

The MAJORITY of the game aren't going to be against elite teams so Manu playing 25 minutes is irrelevant. Let's just hope Tony/Manu stay relatively healthy for the postseason rather than worrying about regular season minutes

I would say it will vary depending on who is having a good game or not in the bench. I do expect in those kinds of games for Kawhi and Danny to play 35 and 30, specially if its not a back 2 back and guys are rested and if the game is close. Like for example the match against OKC. Games of that nature, yea I could totally see Pop playing his playoff rotation. I think he would also want guys to get in rhythm and stuff. I think any of Kyle/Simmons or your flavor of the month can play 10 minutes though, instead of 8. It will be important to watch Manu as he wasn't playing 25 minutes even against the Clippers in the playoffs last season where Marco got more minutes since he was on fire. Pop has demonstrated a willingness to reduce Manu's minutes of other guys are hot. I would not assume or take Manu for granted is all. More than anything you need him for his leadership, but hopefully younger guys play well.

no I actually agree with you for the most part...

If we're talking about flat out averages for next year..

Manu will play less than 25 for sure.
