I think you’re close but Johnson is still a factor. Rick talks about him tonight like he’s a player we trust.
I think you see absent KP your rotation goes about 10 deep:
Luka
Rich
THJ
DFS
Powell
Burke
Brunson
Johnson
Maxi
WCS
Once KP is back I think WCS and Johnson will lose their spots in the rotation as KP is going to need at least 30 min a night. They will still play on B2B's and fill in when guys get injured. KP likely also shaves off some minutes from Maxi and Powell.
The new starting lineup I think will be:
Luka
Rich
THJ
DFS
KP
With Brunson, Burke, Maxi, Powell being your bench subs and you might just go 9 deep some nights or 10 with JJ or WCS some games. That to me is the rotation for the forseeable future absent injuries which of course will shake up rotations.
G-Richardson/Brunson
G-Hardaway/Burke
Point Forward- Luka/Johnson
F-DFS/Maxi
C-KP/Powell/WCS/Boban
Its WCS and Boban that might not play when KP comes back. It’s hard to rely on WCS when you don’t know what you’ll get
