Minutes/Game Next year

Several have mentioned the effect of rotating more players into the game next year to keep up the pace. I looked at Fran's Siena teams, skipping his first year as a transition. Here's what he did at Siena:

Sienna 2009-10 (Fran's Fifth year)
9 players in double figure minutes
4 with more than 30 minutes/game
1 with more than 20 minutes
3 with more than 10 minutes
next player had less than 6 minutes/ game

Sienna 2008-09 (Fran's Fourth year)
8 players in double figure minutes
4 with more than 30 minutes/game
1 with more than 20 minutes
4 with more than 9 minutes
next player had less than 5 minutes/ game

Sienna 2007-08 (Fran's Third year)
8 players in double figure minutes
3 with more than 30 minutes/game
2 with more than 20 minutes
3 with more than 9 minutes
2 player had more than 8 minutes/ game

Sienna 2006-07 (Fran's Second year)
8 players in double figure minutes
2 with more than 30 minutes/game
4 with more than 20 minutes
2 with more than 9 minutes
next player had more than 8 minutes/ game

to me to be in the rotation is a 10+ minute player. fran tended to have more 30 min guys than iowa will. i only see 2 possible 30 min guys (marble and white) and i think white will be under 30. then i see a lot of guys who fit the 15-25 min capabilities given the style and their competition.

what those numbers dont take into account is who had to be on the court for them to win. depth is a key to how the rotation works.

pg - 2 players both frosh...both have to play to create depth.

sg - 2 players...jo didnt play a lot and ingram is a frosh, very little depth so rotating both will be important. marble and/or may can help out here. i believe if anyone redshirts it maybe ingram.

sf - 2 players...marble and may both will see the court and 2 and 3 spots because they have experience.

pf - 3 players...white and basabe are both 20 min guys with starting ability. if meyer redshirts it wouldnt surprise me. along with white playing a little at the 3 but that will be a defensive liability on the wing but at times the reward will outweigh the risk.

c - 3 players...mccabe and woody will play minutes here with gabe being a 3rd option (probably minimal time if he plays i think it will say a lot about woody's development).

by my count i see a 9 man rotation at least and possibly a 10 or 11 man. 11 is hard to pull off but 9 and 10 are do able.
