To my surprise, Carlisle actually gave the kid a chance, and to my even bigger surprise the kid handled the opportunity pretty damn well. I think it’s safe to say he’s starting to figure some things out. Good for him, and good for the staff who has been working with him.
Not just any minutes...4th quarter minutes. Recall we were down 83-82 after three. In 4:17 he got two steals, two boards and had a made basket (and played really good D) and left with the game tied. It is huge if the team can hold its own at this stage of the game while your starters catch a break before the stretch run.
Yeah, I'm also surprised it has taken Carlisle so long to figure this out. I mean Green just killed it in Summer League and by all accounts he had a fantastic training camp. Oh, wait.
