We have lots of options, like running Kithcart at point for a couple minutes here and there and moving Caver to two guard for spells . Assuming we have Carver back, we can go eight, nine deep with some good players, not too worried about too much playing time myself. I wonder how often Elmore comes out? I think I remember Bassey playing 38 minutes the other night? Plus, with all the flipping TV timeouts they have, minutes played is overrated, imo. Foul trouble is a bigger worry associated with more playing time, imo.

Maybe for most players with some game time experience. Kalu pulled himself out a couple times from fatigue. But that'll go away with more time in the game. I saw him at least once looking at Jones asking to come out and Jones sent in Dickens. I kind of expect that going against a Bassey that hard, that guy was a specimen and Kalu kept him mostly in check when he was in. I think he and Wade should have been players of the game. BJ and Caver had points and hit clutch shots at the end but the young guns are what took it over at 12 minutes in the 1st.
