Yeah, it DOES seem like Carlisle, so far, has been playing 10 guys to fill 9 rotation spots, giving Melli some time in the 2nd and Powell some time in the 4th. That would lead us to the idea that he'd like to find one guy who could do all of that, and that he views the hole (this season, specifically) at the 4/5.
Personally, I think it's possible that those minutes could alternatively go to a 4/3, like Batum, provided he's ready to commit a little harder to WCS. And if Powell isn't here, maybe a guy at Melli's status to soak up minutes as the 3rd, more small-ball oriented center, but not as an every playoff game type?
