Vogel said before the bubble that he wants to establish a 9-Man Playoff Rotation. Watching this last game of the seeding and it doesn't look like Vogel has an established 9th man yet with all these different experimentation.
We all know the 8 players already established for the rotation:
1. LeBron
2. Davis
3. Kuzma
4. Green
5. Caruso
6. Dwight
7. McGee
8. Pope
Probably waiters but I think we go 10 man deep in the early rounds of the playoffs with Morris getting minutes as well. We also picked up Smith who has playoff experience so he should be getting minutes in the later rounds and one of Mcgee or Howard will get minutes reduced in the later rounds.

If they play both bigs it’ll definitely be a 9 man rotation. Javale and Dwight can only play Center. So that means if you only do an 8 man rotation, there will only be two subs for the other four spots: Kuz and Caruso. Don’t think that’s enough.
Waiters will definitely be 9th man and he’ll get playoff mins. The question is if you swap him for Rondo when he’s back.
The thing with Waiters is dude can come in and drop buckets in a quick span. But if you leave him in their to long it can get bad quick as well. But like some have said between him and Morris depending on matchups. I still prefer playing Waiters over Rondo though but Vogel seems to be high on Rondo so will see.
This for the most part. Depends on how they play Kuz, if they play the big 3 with a guard and a center then maybe Morris cracks the sub group. Waiters has been too good of a spark. You have to have a perimeter threat for the 10 non-LBJ minutes, especially if KCP plays more with LBJ.
