I honestly don't think it's as clear cut as this... Self stockpiles as much as possible... then plays who is doing the job the best. That doesn't mean the best player, necessarily - as we've seen in the past. He's given significant minutes to walk-ons in situations where you had obviously more talented players on the bench. Whether he's trying to get an individual to buy in that hasn't... whether he's rewarding players he feels earned it... or a combination of both... He has done it in multiple situations. It's why guys like Ellis ride the pine early in a Freshman season having been a High-School All-American
That's why he has 7 bigs on the roster.. if he feels Wesley gives a better effort than Lucas or Black in the now.. he'll play Wesley... I don't think there is any "clear" vision into the future rotation at this point, to be honest.
