He only hit the first 3's of the preseason though...
How was the transition D tonight?

To start you are probably right. Quinn is known for developing players so I'll trust the gameplan, but I think we see him playing 20-25 by the end of the season.
Good game to lose, it should make them a bit more focussed for the first game of the ACTUAL season.

How can you trust a guy who is averaging about 6 TOs per 40 minutes, and is shooting 35% from the field? You simply can't have a guy like that if you're trying to win games. He's not a shooter, he's not a scorer, so his value is in his ability to facilitate and make plays for teammates, and if you have an assist to TO ratio of 1:1, that just isn't going to get it done.

You are right. He simply sucks and should not get any time. Bring back Corbin.

Until he can cut down on his TOs and become a better playmaker, in tight games, if you're trying to win, you have to sit him. Tonight, in his 10 minutes he had 3 TOs and 0 assists. You can't have that in addition to his inability to get his own points. Sometimes the truth hurts.

Hayward with 24 points on 12 shots, 5 rebs, 3 assists and he's a -10. +/- is such a weird stat on a one game basis. And by weird, I mean ridiculous.

At the same time, we have to develop our top-5 choice and work for the future. The wins this year don't mean a whole lot, but player development sure as hell does. I'm not saying we have to start him or coddle him, but he shouldn't be benched either.

This is a great point. Snyder is going to have to pick his spots with him perhaps early on, and then ideally as he improves, he can be a guy Snyder can actually rely on even in close games.
