Yeah, because there were no games where he was bad. Because he wasn't in the league for 5 years on a bunch of different teams and never played more than 15 mpg. I guess all NBA coaches and their vast staffs are a bunch of idiots who can't utilize their players. I have one for you, let's sign him! He must be good, this wasn't so long ago!
Your case is that other coaches played him an average low minutes? That's it?
So what? Each of those cases is specific. Boban played behind all star centers like Tim Duncan, Andre Drummond, Joel Embiid.
Have you researched and read what those other coaches said about Boban? I'm pretty sure you didn't.
Did you read that Popovich loved him, played him more minutes at times even though he was behind the Great Tim Duncan and Boban contrary to your poorly researched remarks actually played well when he did play those minutes.
'I felt like an idiot,' Popovich discusses Boban Marjanovic leaving the Spurs
Quote:Popovich discusses how much the Dallas center was special in his time in San Antonio as well as just how great a player he is.
Quote:I felt like an idiot (when we didn’t re-sign him after his rookie season). Sometimes, you do things because you know it’s right for the person.
...
Quote:The offer he was getting was something that we couldn’t match, and I would have felt forever guilty if I would have convinced him to stay and give up all that money. In the end, I just had to say, “No, you’re going. You’re gonna go. You have a family. You have to do it.” And he begrudgingly went.Quote:He’s also intelligent. It’s not like he’s a dumb guy; this guy’s smart as hell. But his agent had to talk to him, and I had to talk to him.
No he was not torched, that's why he was signed to a bigger contract which Pop encouraged him to take because he the Spurs wouldn't match that in their situation.
Did you read about what Coach Stan Van Gundy ACTUALLY said about Boban, contrary to your poorly researched comments?
Stan Van Gundy: I should’ve played Boban more in Detroit, he’s unstoppable
Quote:Boban Marjanovic had a great night in Dallas’ win against New Orleans with 15 points and 16 rebounds which was his best performances this season.
After the game, his former coach Stan Van Gundy praised Boban and noted that one of his ‘lessons’ from being the Detroit Pistons coach was that he should’ve used the Serbian big man a lot more:
“Look, I feel like one of the things coming out of my time in Detroit – you always evaluate yourself – I should’ve played him more. I really should’ve. And I think there are other coaches that would say the same thing,” Van Gundy said on NBA TV and explained further.
I guess Stan is a flat earther too.
