THT bench warmer application thread

Did you ignore the part where one is on a long-term contract that isnt easily tradeable and the other is on an expiring?
Hard to tell if you just act stupid or you are actually stupid.
When you’re getting minutes you shouldn’t due to your agent there was probably some locker room issues. I mean all of the players have eyes like us. How many times are they going to see THT do some wild **** before they start to wonder why this guy is getting minutes over me.

KO is expiring.
He plays though
Dunn as well.
Ya, pretty clear that you are actually just stupid.

THT averaged 15-4-2-1.5 in December on great shooting splits and playing better D than Sexton (and he got hurt when the schedule hit a soft spot). You can critique THT all you want (and most of them are pretty valid), but to act like his December play did not warrant getting minutes is just you being a straight up fraud. It's funny how love to bring up me "falling off" constantly, yet your whole schtick is just trying to copy me and failing to do so. Because even in my trolling I still inject more actual basketball conversation and knowledge into my post than you could ever do in even your most serious attempts.
Also, Clarkson does just as much "wild ****" as THT, if not more. THT also plays far better defense than Sexton, Clarkson, or Keyonte. So this is idea of THT not being able to get minutes because his play being so egregious is a ridiculous statement. If the whole "oh, what will palyers think when they see player X do Y bad habit" was a thing, then watching Sexton/Clarkson (especially Clarkson) play defense would be at the top of the list of reason not to play someone.
And you know Sexton/THT share the same agent, right?
We all know what THT isnt getting minutes:
The Jazz have to play Clarkson/Sexton. It's non-negotiable. Both players are on long-term deals that need to be dealt at some point to improve the team, so it's in the interest of the team to put them in positions to succeed more so than THT. Even if you dont agree with the "need to be dealt" at some point part, them being on long-term deals makes their integration into the system more important than a player on an expiring contract.
The Jazz also have to play Keyonte. He's the future. IT's clear to everybody. That's why even when he does the slightest positive thing he will get his minutes bumped over Sexton/Dunn.
So why dont they play THT over Dunn if THT is playing so well? Good question, and it's a decision I disagree with, but if you are playing THT/Sexton/Clarkson all major minutes, the shot distribution is going to sway too heavily to just those 3 players. Dunn is good because he provides some balance to shot distribution. I would personally just play the best talent, but I get the reason why Hardy isnt doing that currently.
Hell THT should be playing over Ochai as well, but Ochai is on a rookie deal and you need to develop him.
Say what you want about THT, but his play this year isnt why he isnt playing currently. He's consistently been one of the most impactful players on the team.

I find of this quite funny. Half of the people here were saying JC should be trade 6 games ago as he was terrible and the same saying Sexton should never be a starter 
. Now they are good and nobody speal anymore about that. Disease of the ERA, people have stong opinions very fast... until they change it quite as fast, and struggle to admit when they are wrong. Luckily it's just basket ball

Lol Sexton and JC have very team friendly deals and playing themselves into value. I’m also not convinced the jazz want to trade them or at least not JC though Hardy doesn’t need to start Sexton if he didn’t want to.
But I must thank you. You going down with the THT ship is super entertaining.

Oh, I’ve been saying since last year that sexton should start, and I still want JC traded.I find of this quite funny. Half of the people here were saying JC should be trade 6 games ago as he was terrible and the same saying Sexton should never be a starter
Thank you for proving my point. The Jazz are letting Sexton/JC ride this hot wave to play themselves into the value. That's the entire point.
What THT ship am I going down on exactly? I said the guy would play great this year, and despite a slow start, he played great in December. And once again, I'm right. If he isnt on the Jazz next year, it's whatever, and like Rudy, I will enjoy him on his new team and root for him to do well.
Um.. not even close on practically any metric besides the number of unnecessar Cy love letter posts.
Every defensive metric for starters.....
