As for the minutess, I would guess that most of Whitehead's time will come from Blakes/Grandison/Mitchell rather than Young. I think Young's minutes will largely get reduced by Lively's minutes. But I doubt we go to a ton of minutes for Filipowski at C. So basically I expect Lively's minutes to go up from the 17 mpg he is currently averaging to 25 or so, and Young's minutes will drop from 20 to 10-12.
I think Whitehead's minutes will largely come from the various fill-in wings we've used (Grandison, Blakes, and a bit of Schutt) and a bit from Mitchell as well. Probably will see Grandison and Blakes both reduced from their 17-18 mpg to a 10-12 mpg role or less (likely less for one of them), and maybe a few minutes taken from Mitchell.
