Just looking at his highlights, Sully not having the glove seemed to be a big factor in his play.

With Sully and Hump's showings in tonight's game I hope Stevens would start to consider starting Sully with Hump and bring Bass off the bench.
Wait a month first... we're still trying to pretend he's a starting PF so we can trade him.

Also, Bass fits well with Rondo.  Rondo needs bigs who can knock down mid-range shots so he can penetrate into the lane and have kick-out options.

Hump and Sully can hit the outside shot, too.

Edit:

But I'd like to move Bass as well. Bass has shown all he can do in his stint with us.

I actually borderline agree with """"showcasing"""" Bass. I'm not too hot on the idea of """"showcasing"""" but I've never been a HUGE fan of Bass.

Whether you want to keep Hump or not, it certainly helps to give him more time whether to play up his value or to improve the team.

I would love to see more of Sully/Hump/Kelly lineups. Pluses all over.

  Rondo didn't have any problem playing with bigs that played inside and finished well at the rim. Wilcox and Shaq were getting easy shot after easy shot playing with Rondo.

With Rondo, all a big has to have is good hands

if our backcourt had not shot so poorly, we might have won.

our back court is the reason for most of these losses. Crawford needs to be reigned in and just because a lot of the shots Bradley is taking & making they're mostly bad shots. when he isn't making these bad shots we look really bad.

Only reason we weren't getting completely annihilated was because of AB's hot shooting. It's not his fault we've been losing.

J-Craw has been pretty much as you'd expect him to be. A play maker who shoots too much.

The reason we've been losing is because JG and Sully have been completely invisible in the past 10 games.

No surprise when our 2 best players play well, we look far better.

I hate the Rondo + Bass Butterhands pair.

  I honestly don't think that Bass has bad hands, it's more mental with him. It frequently seems like he wasn't ready for the pass that came to him, so he doesn't catch the ball well and he then has to decide what he's going to do now that he has the ball. Almost like he's ball-watching on offense.

Sullinger and Humphries are perfectly capable as mid-range shooters.

With the number of bricks our backcourt lays, we need above average rebounders in the frontcourt.  Bass is the worst rebounder in our big rotation right now.

Bass reaction is slow or off step.......he either bumbles the ball,   Steps to early ,  waits way to long make a move.   If he just catches and shoots ..there is less thought process .....so he shoots a nice jumper

If Bass has a plan , like a driving dunk ....he is ok.......he has trouble when he gets the ball with little or no time to think about how to react .......the best players react instantly ....like Rondo

Bass panicks and doesn't do a great job making it up as the play unfolds

Sully is exact opposite of Bass .....he is able to compute the situation and make a fast decision and move the ball

Bass is frustrating to watch......I squirm in my chair like crazy ......nerve pills to settle me down,

Sully has gone through a rough stretch no doubt. I think with his injured hand and the losing he has grown frustrated. Last night was a great bounce back game for him.

Na', he has bad hands... no need to explain it or rationalize it.
