Trey-Alec-Gordo-Favors-Enes -9 Last Night in 12 Minutes

Really? Hollins and Karl belong to the school of bringing youngsters along slowly.

Curious if karl and hollins bring the youngsters along slowly in the years that thier teams were rebuilding and when they had like half of thier team, that also happen to be thier better players, under 24 years old

Horny has been riding his vets this season (thought to be a rebuilding/tank year) instead of playing the young talent on the team. I doubt Trey, Alec, Gordo, Favs and Enes would be getting more PT (they'd likely be getting less).

The Suns have made financial committments to their veterans - Dragic, Green and Channing all have multiple years remaining on their contracts. And they traded one of their vets in the preseason to give more minutes to Plumlee. The only young player you can make an arguement for more minutes is Len - and he's playing behind Plumlee. Statisically, Archie Goodwin may be the worst guard in the NBA.

I think Utah is the only place you'll find a revolving door of one-and-done fair to middling veterans getting playing time in front of their developing players.

Yeah.. Suns having a similar dilemma with playing Frye over Markieff like Jazz' playing Marvin over Kanter. But they're at 7th spot, even though i expect them to fall out of play-off range eventually they're making a push for the play-offs. And Kanter>>>Markieff and Frye>>>Marvin.. so the vet that Horny riding better than Corbins and im pretty sure if Phoenix hasnt been in this situation and been one of the teams at the bottom (as expected before the season) their FO wouldnt hesitate to trade Frye away.
