He needs to be able to defend at an acceptably-below-average level before he gets steady minutes.
Right now guy’s defense has him looking like Jabari Parker out there.
Absurdly hyperbolic. Mazz is wrong to bench him like this - disconnect between the FO and coaching it seems
I don't think there's a disconnect. The FO said they were looking for depth and for guys who could fill roles but might not play every night. Muscala hasn't played every night, and he's been a career backup on some bad teams. He's done some nice things when he's been called on since arriving, but also been exposed at other times too.
I don't think it aligns insofar as that role remaining the same despite Rob being injured and Grant being benched (hurt?), which is a mistake in my opinion
