Fair enough, he did bench him for Collins (even in a tanking situation). I feel like only a small percentage of coaches in the league would have approached the C situation the way Hardy did, especially given the 30th ranked defense.
I don't think Kessler is necessarily a bonafide starter....but if we trade for someone who's better, I would guess that he's either involved in that traded or has already asked out. I can see this kind of scenario happening if both sides really want to continue the partnership, but from the outside it looks like the opposite may be true.
I'm intrigued to see how he plays this year. The disappointing stint with USA basketball and then getting hurt early last year seemed to have killed his confidence.
