I think Kyrie AND Lively are the big additions in the top 5... Unless you're starting to lean towards my side of things on the Lively front..? In the top 10-12 I do see a shakeup. Maybe not immediately, but certainly eventually.
Top 12 in minutes played last year:
Flagg
Max
Naji
PJW
Klay
BWill
Gafford
Nemby
Powell
Martin
AD
Middelton
I would think/hope that the top 12 this season looks NOTHING like the above... It’s a completely different team, really.
I'm not sure they have fully moved away from two bigs. Lively, Gafford, Morez, and Aldama should all get significant minutes when healthy.
Their top 4 minutes getters and 5 out of 7 will be getting heavy minutes again as it currently stands. Hard to argue that's a completely different team. I'm not sure how they are going to find minutes for Morez, Aldama, Risacher, Larry and Sasser, especially if Lively is actually healthy.
