I hear you. In fact, we all hear you, although believe your concern is too many minutes for certain starters, not just minutes for the bench.

The front court had 5 players log 80 minutes: 30(LT), 19, 15, 12, and 4 (Kelly). That looks like a healthy rotation by any measure.

I believe your problem is with the backcourt (three positions in this analysis): 38, 38, 35, and 6 (Andre). I believe you are arguing that Dawkins should get more minutes. As many, many others have pointed out, there could be a lot of things going on with Andre. I would counsel patience here. If Andre averages 15-20, the other guys will get more time off.

I suppose you may also have a problem with Kelly getting so few minutes. It is not clear to me that RK at 6-10 is a good substitute for Kyle as opposed to another backup for the front court.

Can we take this post and just put it at the top as a sticky? Perfect. Absolutely perfect.
