Before that, he was leading the conference in minutes played at around 36 or so.

I would guess Ravern will pick up some of Steele's minutes.

Steele was averaging 23mpg in February, which is when he really seemed to start getting it and playing well. That was also when he took over starting for Ravern too.

So Ravern gets 7 or so of those minutes, Bryant gets maybe 8 of those minutes, and Smith gets 9 of the minutes?

However the minutes are split between those 3 players, and i would assume itll be between those 3 players, I cant see any of them getting all of Steele's minutes. I also dont think Ravern will go back to how much he was playing before, though playing 30mpg isnt unreasonable.
Bryant isnt a SG/SF, at least in the traditional sense, so maybe when he is in, Bost plays off the ball a bit?...but that would be a surprise to actually see.
Smith and Ravern are needed to help replace Steele's outside shooting since that isnt Bryant's strength at all.

Maybe this will give Smith extended time to play and show what he can do(and hopefully what he can do is good). He has been stuck behind others on the depth chart and seems to be trending as one of those players that comes in ranked and well regarded but leaves because of lack of playing time.
