Asking Wood and Maxi to play 48 minutes of center isn’t a good recipe for the regular season. Asking them to play those kind of minutes in the playoffs does make some sense depending on matchup AND is a lot more doable if you’ve got someone like McGee to eat up those regular season minutes effectively.
There is value in that.
And even if the game changes in the playoffs, McGee can give you 10 minutes and also a real option if you’re dealing with an animal down low on the other side and can’t 5 out him off the court.
Interesting. Must have watched a different Dallas/Phoenix series than me.
Game 3: 14 minutes
Game 4: 9 minutes
Game 5: 3 minutes
Game 6: DNP- Coaching decision
Also against Pelicans
Game 4: 13 minutes
Game 5: 9 minutes
Game 6: 3 minutes
Seems Williams didn´t trust him to slow down the animal Jonas averaging 14.3 RPG in that series.
