Isn't that essentially what one would have to do in order to put two rookies, 1 rookie for all intents and purposes and one second year player for all intents and purposes...paired up with a guy that is rebounding from injury riddled seasons and learning a new system against guys that have played together for multiple seasons and also played within the same system for multiple seasons?

Vujacic - 4th season all with LA
Walton- 5th year all with LA
Turiaf - 3rd year all with LA
Farmar - 2nd year in league - experience on par with Maxiell
Radmanovic- 7 year vet, 2nd with LA
Ariza- 4 year vet 1st year with LA - experience on par with Hayes

As you can see, our most experienced players in the bench rotation - Hayes and Maxiell - are only equal in experience with team and system to Farmar and Ariza, two guys that happen to be the low men on the totem pole in the same context on the Lakers bench.

In order for our bench to log the same amount of PT we would have to fast forward to three years from now and only then would your comparison to todays Lakers bench be a valid one, since in the long run repetition of tasks and structure over a period of years goes a long way toward influencing a squads on court performance regardless of a players individual talents and skills.

So yea, 3 years.
