Feel free to tear this to shreds... These MPGs take into consideration blowouts but I think the minutes will be distributed something like this:
If Colin Porter is cleared:
PG: Nigel James (30) Colin Porter (8) Nolan Minessale (2)
SG: Adrien Stevens (29) Nolan Minessale (8) Ethan J (2) Nash Walker (1)
SF: Nolan Minessale (13) MPIII (17) Damarius Owens (9) Alex (1)
PF: Royce Parham (25) Damarius Owens (12) MPIII (2) Alex (1)
C: Fru (25) Josh Clark (10) Caedin (3) Royce (2)
If Colin Porter IS NOT cleared:
PG: Nigel James (30) Nolan Minessale (5) Adrien Stevens (4) Nash Walker (2)
SG: Adrien Stevens (25) Nolan Minessale (9) Ethan J (3) Nash Walker (3)
SF: Nolan Minessale (10) MPIII (19) Damarius Owens (10) Alex (1)
PF: Royce Parham (26) Damarius Owens (13) Alex (1)
C: Fru (25) Josh Clark (10) Caedin (2) Royce (3)
Wild card: Ian Miletic fills in at spots 2-4 when needed but minutes are sparse
I absolutely could be wrong but I think Shaka is going to attempt to keep starters fresh this season by utilizing a deep bench when possible. I also think spots 2-4 will have A TON of rotation, especially if Nolan and Adrien need to pop over to PG
Caedin's minutes will be the most controversial, but I think he finds a way to get into games against beefy centers. Shaka can't quit 18 but his role should shrink if what we're hearing about Josh Clark is true
Am I wrong in thinking Damarius will be the primary backup at PF? I still think Royce will spend a few minutes a night at center.
Opposing small forwards will have a hard time remembering who they're supposed to guard because I think that spot will have ample rotation
I think Alex, Nash, and Ethan will get into games as well but will get more than a few DNP marks as the rotation will have to run 9 deep on certain nights. Crowdis and Miletic will get walk-on minutes.

Don't know how it'll break down positionally, but I'll go:
James 32
Stevens 30
Parham 29
Fru 28
Minessale 25
Owens 18
Porter 12
Clark 9
Phillips 9
Caedin/Johnston/Egbuonu combine for 8
