Here’s my guess on distribution given this information:
McGee 18. Wood 30
DFS 14. Maxi 24. Bertans 10
Bullock 28. DFS 16. Green 4
SD 14. THJ 28. Green 6
Luka 34. SD 14
IF they bring in another rotation worthy creator, there is room to give them at least a 20 minute role from the Bertans/Green minutes and raise Smith’s minutes at the four by 10 and move most of THJ’s minutes to the three. We certainly ‘can’ start the season like this, but boy is there injury risk behind Luka and SD.
This looks about right from a minutes distribution, and I definitely agree with the Wood/Maxi pairing and McGee/Dorian pairing, but I really don't understand why Wood has to show something anymore than McGee does. Given that these guys care about this kind of thing, I have no idea why they would do this.
One other minor thing, it does not really make sense to play Dinwiddie with McGee vs Timmy. Dinwiddie likes to operate in the same space McGee does, while Timmy is the perfect outlet shooter for a McGee P&R.
