AG - Two things to chop it up about...

First...  JB's handling of AG sometimes is frustrating and inconsistent to me, but is there a method to his madness here?   Players are motivated differently and it seems like JB is hard on this kid (sometimes really hard), but could it be because JB sees his real potential and it's what he uses to try and bring it out?   Also, mentally it seems AB is able to handle it (not saying he likes it).

AG does things on this team that no one else can and you can see that the kid has different gears to his game.   I knew his rep was as a shooter coming in, but I had no idea he was as athletic as he is.   The kid has freaking bounce!  AG playing his "A" game is huge for us, his potential once he tightens up his handle and gets his game mental together is high. The kid seems coachable and I haven't seen any bad body language or energy from him.

Question:  could it be that JB's trying to motivate AB this way because he knows his ceiling is higher than maybe even AG believes and wants him to get it?  or Nah...?

Second ...  Sometime people  here really speak on this kid in a way that does not reflect his true value to the team.   He is not a player that we can just sit and bring off the bench when some other players need a blow.    AG is probably our 2nd best player and probably should only play fewer minutes then QG.  AG does some boneheaded things sometimes and is still adjusting to his role here and as a player, but he brings so much to the table for us.

Thoughts?
