For that reason I see Roach playing south of 30 minutes per game, I think Moore, Keels, Griffin, and even Banchero can initiate the offense in half court sets, and we switch so much on defense that everybody will take turns guarding the opposing point guard no matter what.
I know this thread is about minutes averages over the course of the season, but for me the more interesting question is always how will the minutes breakdown in a competitive game against a top opponent? In that scenario I see Moore, Banchero, Griffin going the full 40 or close to it and Roach, Keels and Williams splitting whatever's left fairly evenly.
