We're trying to make the playoffs here, and they're upset because we're giving minutes to proven NBA players and not trying to develop our rookies.Finding minutes for the young guys and trying to win games aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive with this team. Especially with our team exhausted and coming out with effort and energy issues against teams like Sacramento. To me games like that are perfect for greens development. Makes way more sense to me than watching the same old veterans half ass it out there while making rookie mistakes. Since we don’t seem to have any trouble getting motivated to play against better teams I understand not playing him in those games. But when the whole team plays like ass against lesser competition what would it hurt to put green out there for his defense and energy? Seems like the perfect role for him this year.
There is a time and a place for playing developmental players. Trying to win a game and desperately needing points in the fourth is not that time.
Yes, I wish RC would find 5 minutes here or there for Green and Bey. But not at the expense of missing the playoffs or having to do a play in against Golden State!
