How exactly do u “grab a game by its throat” when you play 5 minutes every 4th game, & every mistake or missed shot gets you a seat on the bench?
He NEVER got the opportunity to develop like JG & Buddy did, that’s not debatable, IMO.
Also, if i remember correctly, there was one game later in the year, the team escapes me, where he hit like 2 consecutive threes, made a couple of shots & steals, and all of us on the game thread were wondering “ why hasn’t this kid been playing more”? And what did that performance get him? You guessed it, a seat on the bench where he never RE-entered the game or saw PT for a few more games afterwards. To be fair, that scenario happened a few times w/HoWash as well...play well, sit anyway.
it not a fair comparison vs the other 2 because the parameters were not the same. One played under a cloud hoping to NOT make mistakes, while the others knew that they were gettin their 35-40 minutes, regardless of 3’s surrendered,bad passes thrown, or missed shots. There wasn’t equal treatment, that was pretty obvious.
