SinkingQuffa Intervention Needed
Couple things that became more clear yesterday: GG respects the leadership of
both Hall & Rudi, & Rudi seems to really like playing alongside Hall. Doesn't mind conceding PG duties to him from what I can see. We also learned that Waterman & Atiki both naturally fall out in a down-n-out dogfight. Waterman's not physical enough (where his current conditioning's at, anyways) & Atiki's not experienced enough, mostly (of course, he's working on his basic skills, too). Even still, we need to find comfortable roles for both those guys — with their minutes being managed & expanded based on performance & matchups.

That said, I think this is the starting group I'd roll with from this time forth:

1. Hall (25-30 min as the PG)
2. Rudi (backup PG, but a lot of off-guard, like today; defensively, he's always a good option for PGs who might be a lil too quick for Hall to handle on D, & Hall can always switch on 2s who might be a lil tall for Rudi.)
3. GG (25-30 min, with some at 4)
4. Waterman (15-20 min at 4 strictly; less of him out on the far perimeter on D — unless the opposing 4 or switches draw him there)
5. Fouss (30ish min)

And these would be my rotators, from most to least prominent, in terms of typical playing time:

SJ
Saunders
(with 10ish min, maybe, at 4)
Robinson
Atiki
(10ish min at 5; having his minutes coincide largely with Waterman being off the court can be key, I think; Waterman ideally serves to support Fouss in the paint — something that becomes very important against teams tall at the 4 & 5. Hopefully AAA's continued development justifies more time on the court for him against talented 5s late in the season. His ceiling in some ways represents the team's ceiling.)

I think that's got the makings of a pretty strong team, actually. Hopefully SJ can make it back soon.
