those 4 guys get big minutes. Or that a first round draft prospect will get 29+ minutes per game, leaving the other three fewer minutes to compete for. Or that sometimes minutes are going to be eaten up with a big lineup which lands Saunders and Catchings at both wings, eating up even more of those valuable minutes. None of that is a way out there take. It's not even really a conclusion, it's a prediction, a forecast.

A bigger leap to take would be to say that any three of those guys will get more minutes per game than Demin and/or that those other 3 will all each play even half a games minutes. Imv. Subject to change as the data rolls in but that's my hypothesis and prediction for the future.
