I am a rookie/young player addict, so I always want them to get quality minutes. Here are my specific takes...
JG: I think he is one of the Mavs best defenders on the perimeter and maybe already the best. His offense needs work, but he is smart and moves without the ball. I do NOT understand why he hasn't gotten more burn. I truly think he should be taking all of Burke's minutes.
TT: I think he is going to need time. He isn't a PG quite yet and the Mavs want him to be that which is smart. I get why he hasn't gotten burn.
TBey: He is more raw than I was anticipating (though I knew he was raw) and I think the hang up with him is that he has the mindset of a "big" but really needs to learn how to be a wing in order to succeed in the NBA IMO. Him having to learn a new position AND transition to the NBA AND his rawness make me understand the lack of burn when it matters.
So overall, I am not disappointed EXCEPT when RC plays the vets heavy minutes when they aren't making good decisions (this makes me really angry at times...bench the vet!) AND when games are out of reach and the rooks aren't coming in sooner.
