Preview expected Gleeson to lean on a core six for big minutes
Run cost: US$1.54 at API prices (run on a Claude subscription) · + US$0.42 demo re-judging (judge re-run after the run finished)
The NBL.com.au SuperCoach preview (2026-09-09) said Gleeson was expected to run a core six for big minutes, with only Isaac White named as a bench player to get more minutes. That preview expectation fits Adelaide's starters scoring 75 of 97 (context from finding 34). It is a media forecast, not a measured minutes split. Producers can frame the starter reliance as expected, not a surprise.
