Development Concerns

Magic I think you are off on this one. First, one of Exums weaknesses is that he doesn't handle pressure very well bringing the ball up the floor. By allowing G to do this it gives him one less think to worry about in this early part of his development. Second All Hayward is doing is bringing the ball up and passing. Exum doesn't just go stand, he is moving and touches the ball on almost every possession. In this offense almost every play touches the ball before we take a shot. Exum is being brought along much faster than expected right now. There is no reason to throw more at him right now that might shake the confidence he has gained playing as well as he has so far. No need to throw him to the wolves yet. Let him keep getting that confidence up little by little

This isn't wasn't what I thought the thread would be about.

I thought it was gonna be something a long the lines of what a waste of time it was to play all the veteran scrubs the last few years over the guys who are on the team now, like Kanter. Our core players have been in the league a few years now and it still seems like they are rookies just starting out.

Funny thing is, we are handing out fat contracts to players we aren't even sure how good they are. It's something a lot of us predicted years ago would be a problem.

Good thing we gave all those minutes to players not on the team anymore. That really worked out great for us.

You say that as if, had we played Kanter an extra 1000 minutes last year, we'd have a better idea of how good he would become. I disagree. Dedicated players continue to add to their skillset every year. At this stage of Millsap's career, even with him having played fairly good minutes, few people were talking All-Star.

I think if we played kanter more during his first 3 years (and experimented with things like letting him shoot 3pt shots) we would have a better idea of his value/worth..... it would not be a complete picture, since like you said.... players continue working on thier game.... but we would know more than we do now imo

I will grant you that we, the fans, would know more. The organization, not as much.

True, since they see practices and other things we miss out on

So what you are saying is, there is no difference between sitting on the bench an hands on training?

Right.

Sitting on the bench does not eliminate hands-on training, it changes the location and focus of that training.
