Coach Keith Smart confirmed that Aaron Brooks is essentially out of his rotation for now. Jimmer Fredette is acting as Isaiah Thomas' strict backup as Smart has finally established some clear-cut roles. Over the last three games, IT2 is averaging a gaudy 35.6 minutes per night and has responded with a 16.3/4.7/3.3 line. Although Smart's head-scratching tendencies are a threat to flare up, Thomas appears locked and loaded for now.
