We could be seeing a 10 man rotation of Hayes/Anderson Scola/Hill Battier/Ariza Martin/Chase Brooks/Lowry With nobody getting over 30 minutes a night for the rest of the season. Should be interesting to see who plays hard and who doesn't, and who gets cut from the rotation.
nice group of guys but it does miss one thing, all-star player let's hope next year Yao will play as he did last year as far as the minutes go, it will be interesting to see how do players fit on the court
No we wouldn't. Adelman simply doesn't play true 10-man rotations. He'll leave at least one of those guys out of the rotation on any given night, depending on the matchups. We'll see 9-man rotation max. Oh, and Jeffries probably belong in the conversation too as a defensive big.
I think Jeffries is eating up Hayes' and Andersen's minutes. And with Ariza back, it will be interesting how the wing rotation will turn out. If we still have a shot at the playoffs, Battier will probably play more. If not, they would want to develop Ariza and Budinger. In any case, Adelman will experiment on which of the three guys plays well alongside Martin.
RA will give him minutes,but he will have to show continuous progress,otherwise his value will go down.
Once we have zero chance of making the playoffs chuck, battier, scola should sit. We know what we have in those guys and they are not going to develop any more. Plus they will work they young guys harder in practice because they will pratice harder and longer since they wont be getting pt in games. Gametime, we rotate the big positions with Hill/DA/JJ, wings with Martin/Ariza/Cbud, and AB/KLow at the point.
God I hate Jared Jeffries... Jordan Hill should get every second that would otherwise go to David or Jeffries... EVERY SECOND!!!
This ^ the same thing with Budinger, he should be getting the majority of minutes of Shane "Father Time" Battier --RB
I would like to see Ariza starting over Battier. Hopefully, Ariza can go back to being a good compliment type player and not the main scorer. Battier has become to passive, he doesn't look for his shot and has only drawn 1 foul in the last 4 games. We all love his defense, but our offense can't afford a player to just run to the corner on offense. This may work playing with Yao, but not with Chuck Hayes. IMO, Ariza will benefit playing off of Martin & Brooks, giving him more space to drive to the basket.
dude have some respect for him, you don't have to insult the guy. He's one of the best players we've had and has done a lot. Yeah he's getting old but common.
