What's new

1280 zone NOW!

It's ****ing ludicrous.

To you it is apperently..... sorry we dont all have the same opinion as you.
Poor guy, just gonna have to deal with it i guess
 
1. He was out there. 27 minutes per game. Those are starter minutes. Enes's play warranted less. I can't imagine giving unwarranted minutes to players incentivizes hard to earn a greater role and more minutes very well. "Entitled".

2. Once again, unrealistic expectations. There were 16 players in the league who averaged 36 minutes per game.

3. So...Marvin broke by playing 25 minutes per game, but there was no reason not to play Enes 36?


1.
A. There were actually 18.
B. 107 players averaged 30 minutes or more. 56 averaged 33 or more. If we want Kanter to learn to be one of those players, this was the perfect year to test drive that role on THIS team where he was deserving of the bigger slice of the pie.
C. His complaint was about the group needing to grow as a whole.

2.
A. Once again, you mean 18 https://www.sportingcharts.com/nba/stats/player-minutes-per-game-leaders/2013/
B. CONTEXT!

3. Marvin broke because he has an old man's body and was playing out of position. Enes is 21 and in great health.
 
I think Gobert should have played more minutes and Marvin less.



I think that's what Enes meant too, not necessarily his own minutes, but Gobert's minutes. Marvin got wayyyyy too much playtime for a guy who may or may not come back.

Ortg to Drtg leaders on the Jazz

Evans +5
Favors +1
Marvin 0
Jefferson -5

Pretty sure Jefferson, in the vacuum, earned those minutes.

Now, we're not in a vacuum, but 27 minutes is a healthy chunk.

Jefferson is a badass and really helped our team this year and will most likely be great for our team for years to come
 
You're miscounting. Deng ended up averaging only 35 minutes per game for the season, and Ryan Anderson only played 22 games. There were 98 players who played at least 41 games who averaged 30+.

Enes was not deserving of more. And listen again; his complaint was mostly about his own minutes. He was comparing his own minutes to others' in his draft class. He should let his play do the talking. It certainly wasn't demanding more minutes this season.
 
An entitled player doesn't drastically change his body like enes did the year before, or silently endure his DNP's and jerky rotations and scapegoating from coaches who couldn't do their jobs for 3 yrs. he isn't entitled. He works harder than most, and has more talent than most. His fault is he doesn't play well with a team, so in a year that didn't matter, why restrict his minutes and give him rotations he couldn't count on?

Entitled? No.

He's earned it now.
 
Great. Enes earned top-20 minutes in the NBA by being young and having killer abs. I doubt there's a professional coach who would be swayed. No point continuing this "discussion". ****.
 
Enes finished the season strong and was coming along defensively and DL seems to be really high on him

I think we are done here
