the lack of development of any Pruitt, Walker, Giddens.

Maybe they just aren't any good. If so, dump them and find others.

If they have talent, why did Doc burn out his starters, Ray and PP, during the regular season nad not give these kids some burn.

Walker seems like he may be able to become a decent player. Once KG went down, and we all knew it was not going to happen this year for us.  Doc should've provided minutes to these young kids so we can see what we have.

venting.

Pruitt will get one more yr on the C's as cheap third string pg. Probably still won't play and when his contract expires will be gone.

Giddens I think was a mistake. Danny has tried to shop him and the C's stuffed him in the development league for most of the year, which is a bad sign for an older rookie (24). Maybe if he was 19 or 20. Danny actually tried to sell the pick on draft day, but their were no buyers. Should of drafted Chalmers (or DeAndre Jordan if you wanted a legitimate prospect). Since Giddens has a guaranteed contract he'll at least get a chance, but don't have high hopes.

Walker is puzzling, b/c the word was that he had lottery talent, if not for his knees. Well his knees were fine, but he got little to no burn, even though the team was desperate for a backup 3. If he can improve his defense (Doc won't play a young guy if he can't play defense), and works hard this Summer, I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the rotation next yr.
