Isiah Thomas did pretty well last night in helping the Hornets beat the Cavs.

Morris Almond was a g-league God. Unfortunately there are more Morris Almonds than Isaiah Thomases in the g league. And IT had at least a solid run as an actual NBA player behind him, so he had a leg up on most.

Agree on Mo. I'm just trying to stir the pot a little here. The Stars have been horrible this year and Edwards has had to carry them and some games they were playing with seven players. So Quin and Ainge think this is a bad idea let our new acquisition play these Forrest minutes with the same instructions and see what happens.

Forrest had a stretch of really good play, but he's been pretty meh lately.

defensively he's still solid. but he's never gonna give you consistent offense. for an undrafted kid projected to be your end of bench he's exceeding that expectation.
 
Look at how Simmons, a far far better player with superstar potential and all-world defensive ability, but the same general weakness of Forrest, was exposed and fully exploited to beat the Sixers in such a way that it blew up the team. Forrest isn't anywhere near that level, so if they just isolate him a little bit and give him nothing but an outside shot he is cooked. Nothing he can do. He will be borderline unplayable in the playoffs except for spot minutes. Definitely not getting even the short minutes he is getting now.

And Butler has SO MUCH more potential than Forrest, could be Forrest with an outside shot and better passing instincts. Yet we give him no burn. Just stupid. They have handled Butler's rookie year so stupidly. Makes me think a bit of D Will's rookie year, where he was playing behind, who again? And every time D Will was on the floor he was dominant, but we have to play the safe guy mostly. Can't let D Will get free reign, he might end up playing like Chris Paul did his rookie year, and we don't want that. Oh wait...

Yeah Butler is no D Will, but he is being given the same treatment for no discernible reason really. Just stupid and very bad foresight for the development and coaching staff.
