Here is what we know.
1) When Rip is out Afflalo starts. AA starts not Hunter, not Dixon, so Afflalo is the 4th guard overall and Rips direct backup. In the post game Michael Curry was really talking up AA. I don't think he would be doing that if the staff did not take AA seriously. The Hunter comming back experiment has failed and has come to an end. Hunter will not soak up many mins at all from AA in the post-season.
2) Stucky knows how to score and will continue to get major mins no matter the competition.
Only question mark is Amir. Unless he can beat out Maxiel then he will continue to take a back seat to both him and Ratliff. I think Amir deserves consideration above Maxiel but thats another topic. At any rate, its a good problem to have - don't you think?
Flip has never had much of a bench before so I don't think its fair to judge him on the past 2 seasons.
