AROUND the NBA:

[F Gump]

Top 10/11 regular rotation:

Kyrie - Sergio/Sasser
Max - Klay/ZR
Flagg - Naji
PJW - Aldama/Morez
Gafford - Lively

Martin - Tarik - Cisse

Will be tough to get playing time for the “young guys” when everyone is healthy. The 25 and under crowd will need to earn playing time.

I think that's a reasonable look at where the Mavs begin the season. 

In that mix, at the outset, I think all of DeLarrea, ZR, Tarik, and perhaps Morez will get fewer minutes than fans are hoping for (at the moment), like you allude to. 

But I also think their path to more minutes will prove to be slower and the hill steeper than we would like it to be. We assume these guys are ready to roll and merely a few games away from being solid NBA pros, because M/M are magic, forgetting what happened with OMax, Hardy, Anderson, and on and on. These raw guys are going to need to be a LOT better, which will take time.

One exception. With Lively not expected to be ready on day 1, and his ongoing health a question mark, I think Cisse will be getting minutes on a semi-regular basis. 

But I think we will see a LOT of last year's regulars. Where might we get team improvements? Return of Kyrie (HUGE addition), addition of Aldama (stretch big) and Sasser (legit backup PG), and (hopefully) internal improvement by Flagg and Max.
