GAME 11: DAL (7-4) @ CHI (8-3) | 107-117 loss

[DanSchwartzgan]

Yeah if Luka is the weak link (compared to where we hoped he could be) in a 7-3 start, I'm not going to complain too much
Just curious how the minutes will shake out once Maxi comes back. Frankie and Bullock both need to play more
My hope is that Powell is the one having to sacrifice

The current minutes load of our top 9 players add up to 229.5 minutes (leaving an extra 10.5 minutes to spread around).  Here are the current numbers:

34.5    Luka
31.8    THJ
31.4    DFS
28.6    Brunson
26.2    KP
23.9    Powell
20.3    Bullock
18.8    Maxi
14.0    Frank


I'm not sure anyone has to sacrifice in games where we just play our top nine.  There is plenty of room to give some extra minutes to KP, Brunson and Maxi if we wish.  I'm not sure the current version of DFS deserves to be at 31 minutes.  We mainly need to get the right people together in the right rotation.  It doesn't feel like we've got that nailed down just yet.
