Fringe NBA players aren't our salvation. The sad truth is that Bass is a better player than both of them.
Sure doesn't look like it.
But its true. Bass is a nba rotation level player, Randolph/White couldn't even get a minimum contract at the start of the season.
The way Bass has been playing, he would not get a minimum contract either if he was a free agent.
This isn't true. Bass is shooting around the same percentage as last year, rebounding the same, and overall playing a similar level of defense.
He's not shooting as much though, and that's a problem he has to provide scoring with his skillset.
There is no way to win against your argument. Since Bass got a chance in the NBA and a contract, therefore he is automatically better.
Do I think Randolph and White are saviors? Of course not. But are you really against even giving those two guys a chance when Bass is playing a scrub level? They have nothing to lose except by more points.
There is no way to "win" against your argument either, as White/Randolph aren't going to suddenly be given 27 MPG to "prove" they're worse than Bass.
Backup big men are the backup QBs of Celticsblog. Even when they quit on the team.
Are you seriously saying Bass is a rotation quality player right now? Are we arguing about that? There's a very good chance that Randolph and White are worse or the same but even if the chance that they're better FOR WHAT THIS TEAM needs, aka rebounding, is tiny, why not at least give them a chance. They're on the roster, they're signed for the year, why are they on the team if a crap player like Bass is going to play heavy minutes. That's a huge failing by Doc and Ainge, no?
