I will never understand how this guy was allowed to stunt the development of our 2nd overall pick the way he has. MKG shouldve been playing 30 minutes a game, shooting about 1000 jumpers a day, developing a mid range shot (like a floater) and in the weight room to prepare himself for his aggressive style of play. Instead we put him in a 3-4 year off season regime trying to teach him to shoot a new form, but now his teacher is leaving him in the middle of the process for another gig.
I also now question why we refuse to play Biz at power forward, the guy is only 6'8, he's too small to compete with most centers! Our whole coaching and developmental staff is terrible in my opinion.
This is clearly true. Cliff is not a developer. He stunts it in favor of putting his guys out that can play together now, no matter how bad that may be. Noah is raw but he would have benefited from regular minutes. This team thought they were ready to take a next step, but it became a couple of steps back.
Bass, I dont wanna beat a dead horse, but I think a case could also be made that had we played the young guys more, not only would they be more developed, but they would make our team better. We know how not playing MKG late has hurt us in some games, but what if we played Vonleh in some of those games where our bigs were abused for lack of size? Was he really not ready to provide anything for us? I just dont know man.
I'm about as positive as I can be that this is true.
