the 10-11 man rotation i.e. "5 minutes, then substitute" approach as Coach Few stated will be the case this season. More along the lines of Hockey rotation, 3-4 new players on the floor every 5-10 minutes. Its what we saw in exhibition, Game 1, and in Few's post-game interviews. Completely different lineups all the time.
OR
a 7-8 core rotation at key positions, more along the lines of NBA substitutions i.e. a guy here and there based on match-ups or player performance. A post for a post, a PG for a PG, but by and large, the same lineup on the floor at same time. Not 4 guards then back to 2 guards, then 3 PG's, then all new front court etc.
Not good or bad or right or wrong, just preference I suppose -- and I don't have one. I enjoy depth, but don't prefer forcing players in lineup or disrupting rhythm or momentum either. Then again, nice to keep players fresh and allow others to shine or contribute. Also, can keep opposition off balance to adjust to new lineups, or could potentially hinder your best talent as they are unable to ride the "hot hand" or get in a groove otherwise. Pros & Cons to each, yet if you got 'em might as well play 'em, right?
