Rotations and Ideas

[KillerLeft]

This is the way I see the regular season rotation as it stands today.

Luka 36 | Exum 12
Kyrie 34 | Dinwiddie 14
Klay 28 | Grimes 20
PJW 30 | Naji 18
Lively 28 | Gafford 20

If we look at MPG from those 10 last year:

Luka 37.5 | Exum 19.8
Kyrie 35.0 | Dinwiddie 24.2
Klay 29.7 | Grimes 19.2
PJW 32.2 | Naji 19.0
Lively 23.5 | Gafford 21.5

The only real increase from my projections is Lively jumping from ~24 MPG to 28 MPG. Exum and Dinwiddie get less, but with injuries they'll get more over an 82 game season.

Maxi is 11th in my mind and will obviously play but I would love for his role to change from every day player at PF, to 3rd Center and only backup 4 with injuries/rest. 

Hardy will have to show that he's better than Exum/Dinwiddie before I can put him in any 10-man rotation.

I think this is about right, only I think Dinwiddie has a pretty good shot at stealing a big chunk of those Exum minutes (which I'm not hoping for, but might be necessary if Exum is still allergic to shooting) and I hope Grimes gets a few minutes as a guard.
