Another negative performance from him (-6), and don't forget the choke job FT's that almost cost us the game. The one positive start he had was vs CLE where he was actually at a -1 until the final few minutes in garbage time where he padded his stats.
His on/off court equals a whopping -36 as a starter. Off the bench he's at a +15.7 (on the season he's at -12.8)
He's been much better as a bench player, no idea why Carlisle insists on starting him when it hasn't worked out. The Courtney Lee experiment didn't last past 2 games.
Hopefully, Carlisle doesn't continue to force this square peg in a round hole because Barea won't always be there to clean up the mess.
That's a bad use for a lineup stat, especially applied to an individual on such a small sample size. The team has started slow on most nights. You sure Seth is the cause of that? That's not what I see on the court.
"Carlisle insists", "he hasn't worked out", "force this square peg"...are you serious? Rick has toyed with the starting lineup which is far from settled, and we've collected a whopping 7 games of data on something that has changed 5 or 6 times...I don't think this is a context where anything done with the starting lineup is "insisting" or "forcing" because there isn't enough data to say that anything "hasn't worked out".
This is the time of the season where decisions are made based on what the coach sees and what he's trying to forge among the players. Now is the time to build the data sets for the lineups you want to find out about. Lineup data at this point represents an insufficient sample size and is taken from start of the season experimentation during a stretch where the team is still trying to learn how to play together.
