I think one of the problematic aspects of this debate, is that one side gets to ignore gigantic amounts of evidence, whilst focusing on the "upside" - which is kind of what their critical of on the other end.  People focusing on the "upside" that may accompany increased minutes.

We've all seen for giant portions of the seasons - first third last year, last third this year - the shooting guard  is simply horrendous on offense.  Yet, that's forgiven, because, some have a religious like faith in his shooting.  It takes some serious mental gymnastics to come up with a defense that doesn't rely upon ignoring slumps that have gone on for VERY long times over the course of two years.  All of 2018...the last 10-12 games this season.

I'm more willing to accept the JGIII arguments, because we needed his secondary skills.  Playing the PG spot, ability to handle the ball, etc...but he needed rest as well.  The other guy has no [I]notable[/I] secondary skills.

If our record justified playing these guys - so be it, but we're nowhere near making it with that one. We've been awful.
