That's good news. I think they would have pushed for surgery if it was even a remote chance that it was needed.

I think the team was just being extremely careful... for good reason.

Now I'm just dreaming about Chauncey coming out before the first preseason game and saying, "Shaedon has earned the start at the three, this guy's something different on both ends of the court."

remember that year we had a bunch of players go down one by one and then Nate McMillan also tore his achilles in practice?

I remember. Half the team, the coach, then owner got cancer.

If we start Nas at the 3 that means Sharpe gets not PT, we play Hart or GPII as the backup 4, or Dame and Ant dont get enough minutes.

Nas almost has to be the backup PF to leave enough minutes at the 1-3 for Dame, Ant, Hart, GPII, and Sharpe.

i know. worked out a rotation in one of other threads. unless shaedon beats out at least one of hart/nas/GP2, he's not gonna get PT. think the org knew that and is OK with it even if it might be confusing to some of us.

Yeah I remember comments based in misery. Went from calling Sharpe soft to crying about the team hiding the seriousness of his injury 24 hours later. Turns out neither were true yet we still had to read it over and over and over again.

If Dame and Ant play 34 mpg, and Nas starts but only gets like 26, that leaves 50 mpg to split between Hart, GP2, and Sharpe. 20 for Hart and 15 each for GP and Sharpe?

PG: Dame 34/Ant 14
SG: Ant 20/GP2 15/Hart 13
SF: Nas 26/Hart 7/Sharpe 15
PF: Grant 30/Walker 10/Watford 8
C: Nurk 28/Watford 10/Eubanks 10

I know that completely cuts Winslow out, but I'm OK with that.

I broke it down. I think we can find 10ish minutes per game for Sharpe at the start of the season. I think that's a good number to start off with. If he shows he can take more, you make a trade.

If thats the case, it makes this year harder to watch. Part of the whole pull of this year is watching Sharpe progress. We aren't contenders without Sharpe exploding onto the scene. We need that pick to hit.

I know, I know. Its just one year. I'm not expecting him to be Kobe. But for us to have hope at making any type of noise with Dame's timeline if we don't want to move Sharpe, he needs to be pretty good next year or really really good the year after. Just depends on when Dame slows down.

fine in theory, but very few teams run 11 man rotations on a nightly basis.

True enough. Eubanks can be cut out of there too. These would just be averages anyway. I think it'd be fine to have players take an occasional game off to allow everyone more mpg in the games they do play.

i'm good if we get him 10-20 mpg. just don't see that coming nightly. think he'll get some DNPs.

still not sure how to feel about it yet without seeing him play.

That's why we do it back to him when he tries to beat his chest about some prediction. Only to go back and see he made a bunch of wrong predictions or loved a signing he now seems to hate.

He had Banchero and Keegan Murray ranked 8th and 11th :biglaugh:

Hart at 20mpg is nowhere near enough.

Hard-capping ourselves by using the Full MLE on a guy who only plays 15mpg doesn't make much sense either.

This was the rotation I came up with. I think it's reasonable we can find 10ish minutes for him.

PG - Dame (32) Ant (16)
SG - Ant (18) GP2 (25) Hart (5)
Hart (25) Little (13) Sharpe (10)
Grant (32) Little (5) Winslow (11)
Nurk (28) Watford/Eubanks (20)

Dame 32 minutes (PG)
Ant 34 minutes (SG/PG)
Hart 30 minutes (SF/SG)
Grant 32 minutes (PF)
Nurk 28 minutes (C)
GP2 25 minutes (SG)
Little 18 minutes (SF/PF)
Winslow 11 minutes (PF)
Sharpe 10 minutes (SF)
Watford/Eubanks 20 minutes (C) depending on the team we're facing.
