By not allowing Suggs to consistently play significant minutes or close games Mosley risks the establishment of a core group that can synergize effectively.
While adaptability is valuable having too fluid a rotation can lead to confusion and inconsistency on the court.
This isn't like a huge criticism of mine. I think overall he mostly does a great job, but it is a pet peeve. I hate it. When he says by committee I want to punch a kitten.
Yeah, but you can see how selective accountability in coaching can cause coaching issues - saying one player deserves to always close games. I don't think it's been a phenomena of Suggs not closing games, he seems to be in most of them.
I think your particular gripe is that he sits 2-3 minutes too long sometimes. Where he could average 32 minutes instead of 27. We don't know if this is by design or not. If him and Mose have talked it over and found a sweet spot for his style of play, or if he is trying to get minutes for everyone. Like I said, guys like Jokic can demand to play 38 minutes a game but if it makes him tired and less effective, why risk that? Play him 32 instead. Hell, I'd want 40 minutes for some of our guys if injury risks and fatigue wasn't a thing. I'm all for Suggs getting over 30 next year though.
I guess my question is, where else in the league do you see clear hierarchy of a mishmash of 8-13 PPG scorers elsewhere in the league? I don't think it exists. I'm talking about natural 9-13 PPG guys, not Jrue Holiday types where you know you can score 20 but are forced into a smaller role. You can't really point to mercurial scorers and bench guys on our team and be like "Hey, you're #6 in offensive importance!'
I also think you're misinterpreting the phrase "by committee" - it means we don't have a heliocentric offense around one guy like Doncic or prime Harden. Hell, people get mad we play so much iso with Paolo/Franz (since they're iso players lol) and true by committee teams are just getting it done when their names are called.
When your team is full of often injured guys, guys who just straight up don't have it on certain nights, or guys who are matchup dependent, it literally is a by committee approach because there are games where you might need Okeke and Houstan and Goga to step up, the bench to save us, or the starters to put their stamp on the game from the beginning. I think it's very clear who the alpha scorers on the team are and who the defensive heads of the snake are, the rest of the players have to actually prove where they want to contribute consistently.
