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.
Its just 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 2 others knew that they were gettin their 35-40 minutes, regardless of 3’s surrendered, bad passes thrown, or missed shots. It’s unconscionable that Buddy averaged over 36 MPG, whether he was playing well or not. There’s just no excuse for that disparity for anyone not named Carmelo Anthony. There wasn’t equal treatment, that was pretty obvious.
