Celtics Showcasing Players?

[Rhyso]

The teams player rotation and minutes allocation seems somewhat strange to me. Our best talent seem to be getting the most playing time and from the outside it looks like we are actually trying to win with what we have. The players who don't seem to be part of our youth movement are getting huge minutes and to me it seems that the team really isn't developing anything cohesive, rather attempting to increase trade value and a obtain a high lottery pick. Consider:

- Looking at Brandon Bass getting 34.7mpg whilst Humphries rots on the bench and Sully getting less PT than he should.

- Wallace playing 37.3mpg and getting huge minutes at the 2 guard when we already have a logjam there.
 
- Bradley taking 13.7 shots per game when there are better options on offense.

- Crawford seeing the backup PG playing time instead of our only true PG in the rookie Pressey.



Is showcasing happening? Or are the correct players seeing the correct amount of playing time? Discuss.

Some of this makes sense but if this was the case wouldn't Kardashian start over Vitor? Lee start over Bradley?

^ Coz Humphries is an expiring contract??

Humphries is an expiring contract

He isn't playing though so no showcase there.

I can't believe Bass is getting 35mpg and Wallace is getting 37mpg mostly as a SG. Yuck!

Humphries is an expiring contract so he doesn't need to be showcased, he already has value. Lee is already playing much more than he should, so he is being showcased, and Bradley is also being showcased, AND is an expiring contract. It all makes sense imo.

Brandon Bass is the better player at this point.

- Wallace playing 37.3mpg and getting huge minutes at the 2 guard when we already have a logjam there.

Our 2-guards are horrible, for the most part.
 

- Bradley taking 13.7 shots per game when there are better options on offense.

The team is not telling him to take shots. He's just not that good.

- Crawford seeing the backup PG playing time instead of our only true PG in the rookie Pressey.

Hate to repeat myself, but Crawford is a considerably better player at this stage of his NBA career.

Any other questions?
