Eleven player rotation.

Start Billups, Rip, Tay, JMAX, Sheed

Sheed gets 28 minutes, at center. The other 20 minutes at center go 10 to Samb, and 10 to Dyess.

JMAX gets 28 minutes at power forward. The other 20 minutes go 10 to Dyess and 10 to Amir.

Prince gets 28 minutes at small forward. The other 20 minutes go 10 to Amir, and 10 to Mejia.

Rip gets 28 minutes at shooting guard. The other 20 minutes go 5 to Mejia and 15 to Afflalo.

Billups gets 28 minutes at point. Stuckey gets the other 20 minutes.

These are averages. Neither Mejia nor Afflalo have to play every game, nor get many minutes in every game they do play. Prince might play more in close games, less in blowouts, etc. I would like to see Sheed and Dyess simply sit out some games that are part of back to backs. Maybe even Rip, Tay, and Billups could sit out a game or 2 also during the season, again, during back to back situations. A DNP counts as zero minutes toward your average the way I am calculating this.

Sub pattern. Here is a basic sub pattern for this 11 man rotation. The starters play the first 10 minutes of the game, the whole 2nd quarter, and the last 6 minutes of the game. Then you simply have the 6 subs play the rest, basically rotating which one is sitting.

Here are some possible sub units when all 11 players play in the same game:

Stuckey, Afflalo, Amir, Dyess, Samb

Stuckey, Afflalo, Mejia, Amir, Dyess.

Here is a sub unit that can't happen with all 11 players playing their average minutes:

Stuckey, Afflalo, Mejia, Amir, Samb. (Because there are only 20 minutes for the subs, so if Dyess is ever off the floor when the subs are in, he can't get his 20 minutes.)

Here is sub unit on a night when Sheed is sitting out a game on a back to back:

Dyess gets the start. Amir and Samb are the only two backups at center and power forward, so they play side by side the whole 20 minutes:

Stuckey, Afflalo, Mejia, Amir, Samb. Mejia gets 20 minutes at small forward while Afflalo gets 20 minutes at shooting guard. So Sheed's usual 28 minutes go 8 to Dyess, 10 to Samb, 5 to Mejia, and 5 to Afflalo.

If Tay misses a game, Amir starts. His minutes increase by 8 for that game. Samb covers his 10 minutes that Amir usually plays as a big. Mejia gets 10 more minutes at backup small forward and does not play any backup shooting guard-giving Afflalo 5 more minutes for that game.

If Billups sits a game, Stuckey starts, and gets 8 more minutes than usual. Mejia plays the 20 backup point guard minutes. Afflalo increases his minutes by five to cover all the backup shooting guard duties. Amir plays all his 20 minutes as a backup small forward, so Samb gets 10 more minutes as a big.

Or course, some nights, the starters will extend their minutes rather than give the other bench players more time when someone is sitting out a game.

One more thing for the moment. I do like the idea of Dyess trading some of his minutes with Sheed, giving us a 2nd unit of Stuckey, Afflalo, Amir, Sheed, Samb. Or with JMAX, giving us a 2nd unit sometimes of Stuckey, Afflalo, Amir, JMAX, Samb.
