Hard to say. Pop loves to pull rank just because he can.
Looking at the 9-10 man rotation, I'm not sure although I'd love to see it

Give him all of fatheads minutes this RS and we shall see.
We've got to give Bertans the green light from here on out. He's proven that when he's on and given the chance he's lights out and has the confidence necessary.
Think he'll play a role outside of garbage time.
When Bertans is on, he's better than Gay or Anderson. Too inconsistent. Don't know if it's cos he's a choker or something of the sort or if it's cos Pop has f'd up his head.
If LMA plays big in the paint, and we attack the paint, Bertans will see minutes
I think he is making the case for himself.
Pretty sure all of his minutes will go to Rudy Gay.
Depends if he can shot well right before playoffs
I think he will. Minutes may vary... but he will get his chance for sure.
Also depends on how many minutes are played with two traditional bigs. Against GS/Hou, I think we all see Joffrey getting no minutes (very few against others if there’s foul trouble) and will depend on how many minutes Aldridge and Pau play together. If Aldridge is 34 minutes and Pau is 14, then there’s a lot of Bertans. If Pau is at 24 (10 overlapping minutes), less time for Bertans.
Would rather put Anderson in the back court off the bench with Manu instead of Patty and roll out Manu at PG/SG, Gay at SF and Davis at PF.
Give Pattys minutes to Kyle and Kyle's minutes to Davis.
He'll make a defensive mistake and Pop will chew him out like he did Thiago in 2012 at OKC, then he'll stay glued to the bench until next season.
He’s been doing better in big man tasks like defending the rim and rebounding. Gonna depends on that.
tough question ... I fear he will not be part of the game plan but if the offense stalls too much and too often, he will see minutes and hopefully it will not be too late ...
Could see him getting Leonard's backup minutes while LMA play 10 minutes at PF with Anderson and Gay splitting the remaining 38 minutes between them. Bertans is leading the team in 3 pt % and has deep range that could pull his defender further away from the paint, hard to Imagine he gets benched.
If Gay and Anderson are both healthy, he shouldn't play over them. If one of them can't play, then Bertans should fill in.
well, at his maximum ceiling (which probably will not happen with consistency) he could be the 3rd player with the most impact on the team's offense, so it would not be wrong to give him minutes, especially in the regular season with the full team, where his gravity would be potentialized
Probably not. Pop always goes full mike brown in the playoffs. I see heavy minutes for pau tony and fathead
True if Pop is serious about going for the tle, tbh.
there will probably be multiple injuries, so yes, unless he's one of them
