If my minutes distribution for the 1 and 2 is correct, then you only have to worry about minutes for 5 players and 3 positions. 120 minutes for 5 players comes out to 24 min. per player. That is a nice, healthy average. And Trent is already taking up some of those minutes at the 2 – so he wouldn’t need a full 25+ minutes at playing small forward.
So If Trent gets an additional 19 minutes at the 3, you still have 101 minutes for 4 players. That’s a lot minutes to go around. Javin could easily steal minutes from any of these guys. Most likely they would come from Bolden. Here’s how that would play out:
PG: Duval- 35, Allen- 5
SG: Allen- 33, Trent- 7
SF: Trent- 19, Bagley- 21
PF: Bagley- 14, DeLaurier- 20, Carter- 6
C: Carter- 23, Bolden- 17
Total: Allen- 38, Duval- 35, Bagley- 35, Carter- 29, Trent- 26, DeLaurier- 20, Bolden- 17
Now, as far as playing Grayson 38 minutes a game, that really isn’t the issue. He would only play minutes like that in competitive games. His season average would be closer to 33-35 minutes. If you look at the Duke-UNC Boxscores, you will find crazy-high numbers for at least one player ever year. I don’t expect that to change anytime soon under K.
