If Ayo is out in addition to Ant and Donte, I think the very short 8-man rotation MIN is forced to roll with (and Clark only played 12 minutes and Bones only 9 in that Game 6) is an opportunity for some heavy Hydra lineups from Mitch.
If they roll with Randle-McDaniels-Gobert-Conley-Shannon, I think you can definitely match that up with Fox/Castle/Harper/Wemby + 1, and maybe it’s Keldon for some rare 1-2-3-4-5 minutes (only 2 minutes all season, IIRC). On D, Keldon on Randle, Wemby on Goober, Castle on McDaniels, Harper on Shannon and Fox on Conley. The only real weak spot would be whether Keldon can hold up against Randle, but he’s probably the best option.
On offense, McDaniels would take Fox, Randle on Wemby, Gobert on Castle, but that leaves Harper and Keldon matched up against Shannon or Conley… and who ever is on Conley can straight abuse him.
In this case, I expect Gobert to be straight played off the floor, but with Naz in for him that gives you an opportunity to insert Dev or Champ for Keldon I think.
So…. I think more Hydra is coming (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it)
