There aren't minutes for Dragic, the Mavs just added two offensive guys... Green and his defense, as well as his development, are more important than a 4th ball-handler/scorer.
PG: Luka 36 / SD 12
SG: JB 36 / SD 8 / Green 4
SF: RB 36 / Green 12
PF: DFS 36 / Bertans 12
C: DP 22 / Kleber 22 / Bertans 4
Just for more context on MPG/Rotation the last 5 games:
Luka 38 mpg
JB 34 mpg
RB 36 mpg
DFS 38 mpg
DP 27 mpg
Kleber 22 mpg
Green 19 mpg
Burke 14 mpg
Frank 12 mpg
Chriss 12 mpg
Just at initial glance, I think the playoff minutes are too high for DFS and Bullock. Probably a little high for Jalen as well. I don't know how they do it, but I think they find more than 20 minutes for Dinwiddie, if he is productive. I think they are hoping he is a 25-30 minute player somehow. Sort of probably how they viewed him when they had an interest in him this offseason. This all a guess from me though.
I also expect Green to probably lose minutes in the playoffs....just a guess though. It will be interesting to see if Hardaway is back at the end of the year too.
That frontcourt depth chart is really thin....mavs really have their work cut out for them.
