I think this is from a biased perspective.

He doesn't "always" get the most.
Seems unfounded to say that "other coaches let their players do whatever..." 
Unfounded, also, to say that JB doesn't. Remember Donte Greene? Haven't we seen Joe and Buddy in recent years with the unlimited green light?

Transfers... are impossible to discuss. They leave because of some type of dissatisfaction, and in search of something 'else,' and sure, maybe it's accurate to suggest that JB has better judgment than a 19-year old, but just as likely there are other factors in play.

We can cherrypick examples on both sides. What about how JBA and Bourama Sidibe were 3s and 4s in high school, but JB tried to convert them to centers. He abandoned that idea with JBA, maybe too late. Sidibe may have been a more skilled 4 than a banger 5. JB uses players in ways that is comfortable or most needed in his system, and that's often dependent upon who else he's able to recruit. Can't really say all those decisions were the most sound decisions. Was Marek really the best option to play so much at the 5?

Then, go back to early JB, where the common commentary was that he 'just rolled the ball out there' and the players "did what they wanted." But, hey, maybe that was the best way to use them...
