What will be the rotation when everyone is healthy?

    This has me wondering ...

    Considering the fact that we have not yet really seen Pike, and have not seen AGriff at all, let's give them the benefit of the doubt and assume for the sake of argument that they will be good and productive players for the Rockets.

    What the heck is gonna happen with the rotation??

    Pike comes back, Wilks to IL with some mysterious ailment.

    Later, AGriff comes back, and the Man-Teats goes on the IL, likely because of lactose-intolerance.


    Are we really gonna have 12 guys on the roster who are good enough to deserve time on the floor?

    Who on the active roster is/are the best candidate(s) for the DNP stat line at the end of the games?

    Mooch? Braggs? Nachbar?

    Again, this is assuming that AGriff and Pike are able to contribute the way it is hoped.

    Depth has always been a problem for this team - Rudy always seemed to have some no-name scrub he picked out of the CBA or open tryouts in podunk somewhere, but it was ok because those guys never seemed to hit the floor, unless there had been some kind of disaster.

    But now, there are going to be some truly deserving guys who are not going to be getting any PT..

    There is always the chance that either or both Pike and AG are not able to come in and contribute anything any time soon.. ankle sprains as bad as Pike's are a pain in the a$$ to get back to 100%, and AG, well, everyone knows that knee surgery can take well over a year to truly get back from..

    I definitely want to see what this team does with a healthy Pike out there.. but with the defense this team has been playing so far this year, it almost seems like it might make AG the forgotten man..

    Oh well, good problems to have, I guess, too much depth.. I am really curious as to how it's going to shake out.. wonder what JVG is gonna do.. plus, I am keeping my eyes open for anything that appears odd in the PT, which might indicate that a player is being 'showcased' for a mid-season trade..
