Cole is so overrated on this board it's ridiculous
and i like cole. but again, phil has made clear that cole is the last big off the bench.
Things change. I don't think Phil's statements were meant more as a challenge to each player rather then be written in stone. Cole might have been on the outside, but he can easily play himself into the rotation.
Plus, at a certain point Fisher can (and will) assert himself as a separate entity as a coach.
