With Vando out, Reddish stepped up. With Reddish out, Christie has a chance to show he is a viable wing in this league.

These Ws with guys out will add up to:

1. Possible rest in final week(s) of season after clinching a spot.
2. Not killing ourselves in the play in.

For our aces (LeBron and AD), this is required for a 100% post season effort.

They say nobody can stop Jokic, but a rested AD with no serious nagging injuries can do some serious damage against him.

And somehow, this healthy LeBron is still unstoppable, even at his age.

So the point: this depth is really encouraging and as chemistry develops, it could even be a blessing in disguise that so many guys have gotten major minutes. Going 12 deep with quality players is going to carry this team far.
