Time to play Earl Clark

[LV-Suns]

Really? The guy came in for a 1 minute stint in a blowout. What kind of "bench effects" were you expecting?

[hunterxaz]

He's played 22 games and has not been a factor in any. Let him mature and actually show up to practice, and let's see how he plays next year.

We need to trade Earl Clark for someone who can have tangible bench effects. Moreover, we need Barbosa back, to put EC even further back on rotation. Dude blows.

Dude, are you serious? Why are you getting on EC, the only people on this team that don't blow are Nash, Hill and Dudley. Every one else had about 9 million TO's tonight. Amare had 6, he blows. You need to get off of EC when we have other idiots wer could be ripping that are playing, i.e. Amare and Jrich. EC will be fine, once again, he is a rookie and you are impatient as hell.

EC can't perform when he's put in, that's why. J-Rich is another piece that needs to go.

[Classick]

EC and Tucker were the only Suns with a positive +/- tonight.

[hunterxaz]

Don't care about +/-, it's a garbage stat.

I agree on JR. However, EC is a lottery pick rookie. You don't trade his potential away after 2 months. Your suggestions on him are irrational and ridiculous. I would trade away all the geriatrics on our team and rebuild with some youth. So frustrating watching a product that might barely scrape its way out of the 1st round.

The only reason EC isn't producing is because of EC. Nobody else.

"LOUD BUZZER SOUND" WRONG

Wow. Everyone needs to relax.

First, Earl's questionable work ethic has been well documented and it certainly looks like it's affecting his play/focus. He looks lost on the court and his off-ball D is horrible.

However, there is no reason to give up on him this early. The kid has all the skills and talent to be really special. Right now he's just not ready.

Yes, let's see where EC is by spring. No way to tell until he gets some minutes that count. Up to him to earn them.
If we follow the logic expressed here in some posts we would have given Dragic away for nothing last year.
