i dont understand why Stevenson getting so many minutes while Nick Young his staying on the bench but i guess you guys know more about it then i do.
I'd play NY more just because he is younger and needs the experience, but at the same time, NY is not exactly earning his minutes. Except for a three game stretch when he was pretty hot, NY has pretty much sucked this year, and tonight was no difference. The problem with NY is not necessarily his raw skill, it's that he has the basketball IQ of a doorknob.
I personally tend to agree with that sentiment. I do believe that the younger guys should be getting more minutes and I have really liked both Critt and McGuire because of there versatility, they are both decent defenders who are pretty good passers and can do more things other than scoring. I've felt for some time that if each of these guys can work on their mid to long range shots that they can be at least decent rotation players when the entire squad is back healthy. I have not felt this way about NY though. To me he seems like a one trick pony and when his shot is off, he doesn't do much else to help the team. He's really not a catch and shoot type of player and really only excels at his turn around fade away jumpshot when he's hot. Even when he was on that hot streak all he did was shoot, no rebounds and no assists. Id personally rather see Critt and DMac get more minutes because of there all around games and I really don't mind that NY isn't getting big minutes if his shot isn't on. And its probably just me, but I'm kind of getting tired of seeing him throwing his hands up in the air crying every time he misses a shot. Its professionalism man.
