Thanks for the detailed advice, Gillespie. So far so good with FF, using:

PF - campbell / blank / newmann / rachael
C - rachael / newmann / campbell

I’ll try to give an update after a few more games.

Gil is smart, and I’m not going to go piece by piece into his thing, because then suddenly we’re both writing novels. But just looking at your last game (for example) I am not encouraged by the results of the approach, in terms of minutes distribution. Now Elon is not great, and they run a zone (which is to your favor) but Rachel spent most of the second half more tired than you wanted him, Campbell played a ton of minutes indicating he was probably on the floor too long as well. Against zones and weaker man teams it’s not going to hurt you much, but if you have humans with good man teams or pressing teams on your schedule, watch out.

As long as you’re not starting Lockhart, why not utilize him over at the 4 in the 3rd slot?

i agree on the lockhart thing, more or less. i only left him out of that long post to keep down on the noise - it was long enough as it was! which really wasn't my intention. that kind of stepwise look at the rotation is something i do all the time, and it seems simple, but ended up being quite wordy - i just don't know how else to inspect this stuff, once the simple version of the theory has been laid out (level the fatigue, and fairly fresh leading to better 3 man rotation in this case). its good to think through the rotation stepwise for you own teams, or at least watch the pbp and make sure it seems good (most pbp info is useless, but the way you can watch the rotation is gold)

so i would go with
PF - campbell / newmann / rachael / lockhart

the blank in PF2 was included for illustrative purposes, its ok to take it out. its not needed to prefer campbell / newmann, which will still happen in the PF lineup above, due to the way the tie breaker works (highest player in the left most column), but i was trying to simplify to avoid unreasonable length... newmann / rachael would sum to 3 with the above, tying with campbell / newmann, but campbell / newmann is still favored because in the left most column, pf, campbell is highest.

anyway, i disagree on the fatigue problem comment shoe made, the rotation looks good to me. looking at that elon game, rachael got a bit into the yellow late in the 2nd half. a bit of yellow, especially late, is not a big deal. and when you have a starter on getting tired, the dude is literally playing into the yellow before he subs out every single time. so i can't really see that as an argument for a getting tired starter.
