The Rotation (2020-2021)

[Scott41theMavs]

I hate to leave Dougie in the lurch, but I have to be a temporary Powell fan, since it seems that he's going to be important to our rotations especially until KP returns, and the Mavs will have to play at least .500 ball until then not to fall into too big of a hole.

Luka (32) - Brunson (11) - Terry (5)
JRich (25) - Burke (12) - Brunson (3) - Terry (3) - Green (5)
THJ (28) - DFS (10) - Johnson (2) - Iwundu (8)
Maxi (15) - DFS (15) - Johnson (18)
Powell (18) - Maxi (10) - WCS (15) - Bobi (5)

Luka 32
THJ 28
JRich 25
DFS 25
Maxi 25
Johnson 20
Powell 18
WCS 15
Brunson 14
Burke 12
Iwundu 8
Terry 8
Green 5
Bobi 5

I actually think that the two rooks and Bobi aren't going to play even that much. I'm hoping that JRich, Johnson, and Iwundu (with DFS and the rookies) gradually push THJ to fewer and fewer minutes - that should be the case if Luka has the same effect on those three that he did on THJ, because they're all far better defenders - but he should still be a starter (if a low-minute starter) if still here at the end of the year. That will also keep his contract low if we choose to keep him.
