I mostly agree with you, and very much worry we are messing up his development. The only positive I can see is he could use some non pressure minutes to learn how to run our offense and learn how to make some quicker decisions with the ball so it doesn't stick so much. I assume the Stars run the same offense, and I assume he will be super coached up there, but don't think he can learn to adjust to NBA speed unless he plays real games.
It's predictability. Kind of like the devil you know is better than the devil you don't. He knows exactly what Forrest will provide. He doesn't know what Butler will provide so he's going with safe and familiar.
Forrest has played some really nice possessions of individual and team defense. He also gets the offense going and passes to the right people to make plays. He's been pretty dependable and doesn't make a lot of mistakes. Forrest is a good prospect and gives us some things that we desperately need (perimeter defense). I get the idea of developing him and giving him minutes.
Mannnn do I want to say something here... I ain't gonna because I decided I'm going to be nice to @Hearsky
I just don't value the G League much and that isn't because of @homeytennis and our growing feud. If he spends time down there and plays for 30 minutes a night it is tough to simulate the role he will have when he's back with the big boys. It is a place he can get some time and there is some value to it... he could also develop bad habits and have the ball stick even more. I kind of disagree with the assessment that the ball sticks with him. He can do stuff with the ball and should create a little while out there. He's a good passer... its just toggling between the two modes. In the G league is he going to defer to others when he's way more talented than most of the guys.
It accidentally happened one day.
Kinda weird that you just noticed this. Been posting vids for a while now. Lol
