why did allen anderson deserve so many minutes? all he did was chuck. how do players like alan anderson get to do whatever they want on the court while players like bebe cant even get a single minute in garbage time? casey is an idiot who distrubutes minutes based on age. REGARDLESS OF SKILL OR PRODUCTION
Allan Anderson was a vet and I hated him but it's not like there were a ton of prospects sitting behind him waiting to get in to games for us.
What you guys need to realize is that we are trying to win games right now. And the reality is that Bebe and Bruno are both seen as part of our future but they are developing them slowly, behind the scenes. These guys, even if they were to play right now would give you very little to no production.
This is what happens when you put together a good team, your young players don't play as much and develop slowly. This is the new reality. You guys are all so used to losing and looking to see what the future is that you're missing out on the here and now of a good team.
Sure they are making mistakes and there's room for improvement. We all see the potential of what Bebe and Bruno may give us but they aren't ready. Even if Bebe is closer to providing anything, he's not going to see more than 5-8 minutes. Are we really getting that upset and knocking Casey over a player that is going to play so little and provide such little production.
Everyone seems to be picking on Hansbrough as the guy that should see reduced minutes but he's been playing well, he's physical and he holds his own and doesn't really get abused for a guy playing C. Until Bebe proves himself in practice with the team to earn some time, it's just not going to happen. And that isn't a bad thing right now. Again, it just confirms that we are a good team, a deep team and we can develop our young guys slowly while we continue to win.
I agree that Alan Anderson being over played and having too many shots thrown up was a bad move at that time but it had some positives. I mean if you look at it, playing AA meant that everyone on the team saw one thing. This guy was a out of the NBA journeyman then he got minutes because he worked hard for it. Instead of playing rookies minutes that they don't deserve you let them see how they can get it. It's a common developmental strategy.
