I'm not sure we see it all that different. Call it a PG, a Center, and three Wings.Are you viewing Gillis as a 3 man? I have Gillis as a 4 man for about 22 min/GM which is what Painter played him the last 2 yrs. I think Cooper is a 22-25 min/GM at the 3 and 5-6 min the 4. I believe there is 15+ or so minutes available at 2 and 3 spots. I don't think Kon and Evans are competing with Gillis but obviously are competing at the 3 for minutes. Somebody is gonna half to spell Tyrese and I believe that is Foster so I think Kon and Sion are fighting for the 2 spot but I wouldn't rule out Kon being that 3rd ball handler.
Cooper is a long-armed 6-9. Gillis is 6-6. So I think Cooper will often be guarding the opposing 4.
If Cooper plays 30 mpg, then that leaves 90 mpg at the Wing.
I think Maliq will play at least 15mpg at Center but may also get 10mpg on the Wing.
I think Caleb will play 10mpg backing up Proctor at PG but will also get 15mpg on the Wing.
If true, that leaves 65mpg at the Wing divided among James, Gillis, Evans, K2. That's where I think the real competition for minutes will be this season.
Purely my guess for competitive games is James 25mpg, K2 25 mpg and Gillis 15mpg. That could be way off. Maybe Evans will earn minutes away from James or Gillis. But I'm betting K2 starts and gets his 25mpg.
Just one man's opinion watching the roster take shape...
