The Rotation (2020-2021)

[StepBackJay]

@"StepBackJay" I don't think we've seen a single minute yet for Johnson at the 3. Not sure I agree on that one.

We HAVE seen Carlisle try the 2nd unit lots of different ways, however. THJ, Powell and DFS have all taken turns with mostly reserves. I agree Powell has had the most (from memory - haven't checked the facts) but at this point, I think any of those three could be the guy who goes to the bench. And, knowing Carlisle, I don't expect him to settle into one path as soon as KP comes back. I think he goes through the experimentation process again, only with KP in the mix.

I never said JJ would play the 3, I am saying he won't be playing at all probably when KP comes back bc there aren't enough minutes to go around.

I was just listing the starters then the 5 rotation subs Rick has been using. JJ is in the big rotation but Carlisle has enough position flex btwn THJ, Rich, DFS to fill up backup SF minutes without using his bench.
