It's really a preference by McHale and staff not to include Lin in their strategic plan. They've decided to roll with Bev and overlook things like 0-assists in 32-minutes, a low shooting percentage and a complete lack of playmaking ability under the premise of his great defense. They've decided that no matter what, Bev is going to get 30-40 minutes a night to develop. In the meanwhile, the 25-year old Lin with greater potential sits and doesn't get to develop his game with the starters. His minutes will continue to drop and he will be brought in only under dire circumstances (i.e., Bev fouls out).
Do him a service McHale and tell Moray to deal him pleeeease.
This is the problem with the coaching staff. Bev is a 3rd string PG and has no offensive ability whatsoever. You can pick up a dozen at minimum, yet benched the only play maker in the team.
I guess they don't need a player maker in this team because H&H will get the ball 80% of the time to ISO, Parson get 10% on a fast break and then rest of the 10% go to others who will catch and shoot with less than 3 seconds on the clock.
The Rockets was fun to watch last year until Heroball becomes the standard. This is even harder to watch with Howard added to the team. Absolutely no ball movement.
