Rudy Gay played like an All Star.
He played like Marcus Morris for one night.

That was the same dilemma Corbin was facing. Then we will become the same half-assed team as the one from Corbin era. Win 35+ games and end up with the 12th pick.hardy doesn't have the balls (and respect) necessary to bench veterans.
That got traded into Trey Burke.That was the same dilemma Corbin was facing. Then we will become the same half-assed team as the one from Corbin era. Win 35+ games and end up with the 12th pick.

Think Jazz could have got Giannis and Rudy that yearI mean that 12th pick was enough to get Giannis. . .
I noticed tonight in the Bucks game that Marjohn Beauchamp got a DNP and he was a first round pick around Kessler and was highly thought of on this board. The Nuggs had a college teammate of Ochai and a first round pick and he didn't do much last night.One of our top priorities this season should be the development of Agbaja. He should be in the rotation and getting 20 plus minutes every single game.

Bucks have also had some injuries in their rotation as have the Nuggs. Sometimes rooks need to adjust to the style of play.lol, wut? the bucks are contending for a title.
pretty much agree that he won't bench decent vets in the name of tanking or rookie development while the idea is to see what they have and what they can tweak to allow for a underdog season that shuts up the haters and builds character. I hate orgs that just put trash line ups on the court, in the name of lottery balls, as if suddenly those same players will have developed anything but bad habits in those settings, just like they do when teams have no vets and just continue to add young lottery picks that still cannot win for years without adding vets smhhardy doesn't have the balls (and respect) necessary to bench veterans. rookies will just sit there and shut up - thankful they are in the league. veterans will be pissed and hardy doesn't want that smoke at this point in his coaching career. once he grows a pair and gains some respect - if he ever does, guys like Ochai and Bolmaro will get some time.
Kessler plays because there isn't anybody else. as long as hardy has veteran options at the same positions as ochai, he'll be on the bench. it sucks, but it's reality. Pop can start and play a guy like Sochan who isn't even close to ready 27 minutes because he's willing to tell the vets to gfy. that's how you properly tank. you play dudes who aren't otherwise ready because winning now isn't the ultimate goal and it speeds up their development.
playing vets and playing rookies isn't mutually exclusive. you can do both. you can sprinkle in meaningful and significant minutes for young players while still giving veterans big minutes.pretty much agree that he won't bench decent vets in the name of tanking or rookie development while the idea is to see what they have and what they can tweak to allow for a underdog season that shuts up the haters and builds character.

Agbaji, Bolmaro and the two-way guys will all probably see some SLC Stars minutes (I’d assume).GLeague starts soon, so I assume some of these guys will suit up for the Stars if the current distribution of minutes continues.
I think the GLeague rules allow up to three guys on rookie contracts to suit up each game along with the two way players.Agbaji, Bolmaro and the two-way guys will all probably see some SLC Stars minutes (I’d assume).
Barring some sort of major trade, I think the guys playing minutes now is likely what the rotation will look like for the near future.
I think Ochai will get some of Gays minutes pretty soon, unless they feel they need more size at the 3 and cannot find it rotating others around.Agbaji, Bolmaro and the two-way guys will all probably see some SLC Stars minutes (I’d assume).
