Please note this is total minutes over 3 games not saying single game average.

I am going with less than six minutes. In a close game, he gets nothing, and even garbage time in blowouts is only 2-3 minutes. I can't imagine the Suns will blow them out twice, let alone three times.

In my opinion, the Suns would be at least a minus-7 for every minute Stix is on the floor. He is that awful on both ends of the court.

The Suns need to avoid playing him at all costs, in my opinion.

I am actually expecting Game 2 to be a nail-biter. I am hopeful that the Suns pull it out, but the Bucks aren't just going to roll over and go away quietly. Remember that they lost Game 1 of their last two series as well, including at home against the Hawks.

I think 7 minutes sounds just about right, especially if he sees garbage time in game 2. 4 minutes of good garbage time could result in a 2-3 shift to see how he looks in game 3 or 4.

It could be the Suns are forced to play Stix like it or not although hopefully it doesn't come to that.

Luckily the Bucks don't have a lot of size on their bench either.

If given the opportunity I think Monty will try to give Stix some minutes so I checked 7 minutes or more.

I don’t think he’ll get any meaningful minutes this series. Just garbage minutes in a blowout.

The last I heard the Spurs are an NBA franchise.

That game was 100% meaningless for both teams. Basically a glorified Summer League game. In every game that counted, in both the NBA and G League, Stix was one of the worst players, if not THE worst player, on the court.

If you can't even start for a G League team, let alone be dominant at the G League level, you have no business being on the court in any NBA game that counts, let alone in the NBA Finals.

More effective? Sure, but I wouldn't say prepared after he didn't even have shoes tied when called upon in the last game. They had to sub in a guard to kìll a possession while Frank got prepared to play, after Dario's injury.

I think less than six, but hoping for more than 7. He only gets in during blow outs where we are winning. So I hope over the next three games it's lots of minutes. I am going with the under though.

I don't think he sees the court unless a game is well out of reach.

Saric's injury means more of Craig, Cam and a sprinkle of Frank.
Hopefully.

I actually like Craig more than Saric and think the size difference doesn't matter because Saric doesn't really use his size that well anyway.

He will need to play better than he did on Tuesday, especially better than his 4th quarter that game, but I agree that more playing time for Craig and Cam Johnson in a small ball line-up with Crowder at the 5, with a smattering of Nader at the 3, is likely our best shot with Ayton on the bench
