How many minutes would Thad Young even play for Suns?

Ever since @FlexFromJersey brought it up and it was confirmed by Shams Charania, a lot has been said about the Phoenix Suns possibly acquiring Thaddeus Young. A more complete break down of the potential trade can be found at Dave King’s article here.

However, a lot of people (Dave included) have had a hard time picturing where Thad’s minutes would come from in the Suns’ rotation. Exhibit A below:

Although I agree with the conclusion - it would be hard to find exactly 24 minutes for him in Phoenix - I don’t agree with the premises that (i) a player like Young would not find valuable minutes in the Suns’ rotation; and (ii) the addition of Chandler Hutchison impacts the available minutes in any way (especially if it is confirmed that he signed a two-way deal).
