I don't disagree with any of the comments about the limited ability of Watson and Walsh. But right now, Tillman is not playing like an NBA player either. I hope this MIL game is a better match up for him. Maybe he will start to work out of his slump/funk. My point was that maybe some time in the G-League, running with Scheierman and Davison, would do him some good.
That would only make sense once Kornet is back. Kornet is questionable for today. I wouldn't want Watson or whoever to actually play, they would just fill the deep bench role, used only in emergency. Horford, Kornet, and Queta could eat up the required big minutes without Tillman. If Kornet is out, and maybe in any case, they are probably going to use Tillman today vs MIL. But he has to be something better than the total liability that he has been most of the season and in particular the last 4 or 5 games.
I believe that Tillman can be better than he has been showing lately. But is it smart to keep giving him rotation minutes to work out of whatever it is he is stuck in? Maybe, I don't know. He was -14 in 6 minutes last game. -18 in the last 4 games (he played in 3 of those 4). He is the only regular player who has a negative +/- in that span. Kornet and Walsh are both +3 in that span. All of the other regulars are between +14 (Horford) and +54 (Queta) in that span. It is crazy how bad the team has been with Tillman. Brown has not played in those last 4 games, that could be a factor, but they are doing just fine except when Tillman is on the floor. -18 with Tillman, +56 without Tillman in the last 4 games.
