Let the young one free. Give him a chance to spread his wings. Its sickening watching so many scrubs in the NBA playing major minutes, and our up-and-coming talented rookie can't buy a minute. Unleash!

Release me! I'll take the veteran minimum.

If the team continues to muddle along, I'd like to see JJJ get a few minutes (assuming he's earning them in practice).  Problem is that Bass has been one of our best players, so it's been hard to find too many minutes to free up.  Wouldn't mind seeing a tiny bit more of Bass/KG playing at the 5 to get JJJ on the court, but that's what it would probably require.

  • It's not hard to work hard.
I'm sort of surprised this thread exists. Haven't seen anything that suggests he's an exciting prospect. He might just not be good enough yet.

if Doc won't play rookies, why is Greg Stiemsma playing?

I don't buy it, if he's not playing, its because he can't contribute right now, that's it

I had high hopes for him seeing his college game.   The few times he's been on the court JJ has looked either injured, lost or just a stiff.  For him to get playing time at pf he has to overtake kg & bass (even wilcox)....isn't going to happen.
Stiemsma to start, official thread!!!

And with that would you take away the 2 1/2 minutes per game that Stiemsma and Wilcox have each been getting?

It's demoralizing seeing KG jump and not haul in boards, at least JJJ would use his athleticism to get us some of those boards.
