I have never been infavor of playing more than 8 or 9 guys.
After that you begin to loose continuity with your starters and familarity playing with the same guys.

Have your 5 starters and 3 subs to give the starters a blow, 2 minutes at a time, max.

Maybe it's time to start Johnson at center and move Dennis to a forward position......Shilling to shooting guard, Allen point and Kamara forward.

Out.
