Here is what I see as minutes distribution
Point JLIII 24 Burks 15 Tinsley 9 becoming Burke 24 Burks 15 JLIII 9 and Tinsley cut
SG Hayward 18 Rush 20 and Burks 10
SF Hayward 18 Williams 15 and Jefferson 15
PF Favors 35 Williams 8 and Evans 5
C Kanter 35 Gobert 13
DNP Beans and Mike Harris(if not cut)

You are very sensitive regarding Burks potential minutes. Did somebody crop your ears?

I hope Rush ultimately takes minutes from Tinsley and JL3 because Burks runs some 1.
I'm not concerned about Williams taking minutes from Harris, Jefferson, and maybe Gobert. His D and shooting are needed.

I can't blame a coach for playing the people that are playing hardest, fewest mistakes, and that compliment each other on the floor.
It's the coach's job to keep the culture of at least trying to win with the team.
If Jefferson is playing better than someone else and takes a few minutes from someone else that's fine.
Same with Rush, and even *cringe* Beans.
It might motivate the younger players to play harder, and better and put more thought, practice and effort into it.
I'm not saying take all of their minutes, and if the other players are not really playing better than the younger guys and everyone is screwing up... go with the younger guys because at least we have hope that they are getting better with floor time.

Good. Play him. It will take awhile to get his legs back and he'll shoot <30% on his 3's. PRESERVE THE TANK!

My inside guy said that both Rush and Williams were a long, long ways away from being ready to play basketball.

I was really looking forward to see how Rush might fit in with this team as a part of the future bench contributor. However he has looked a bit chubby in the suit behind the bench since the preseason and thought he had to be out of shape. Guess this is his 2nd or 3rd knee surgery so it can take longer to comeback after so many of the same injury and also what it could do to his mental side not just physical side in staying, keeping and getting back to shape.
