I think Cooke to the bench makes the most sense. Still playing starter minutes, but if he plays more with the second unit we will have less of a drop-off. I think Big Steve should start because I imagine he has the most stamina issues. (Just guessing because big guys usually do.) That way he gets his minutes spread out more. Have to have a TrueTeam buy in, though.
Minutes:
Cooke, Pierre, Scoochie, Pollard: 27 each
Mikesell, KD, Steve: 18 each
DD, Miller, Xeyrious: 10 each
Wehrli, Crosby: 4 each
With Pierre starting and Cooke off the bench, you never have to have a minute with them both resting at the same time, and then you have them both in the game at the end.
