Its probably the front office demanding he sits.

They already said he wouldn't be playing PF. Him not playing more than a set amount of minutes per game doesn't sound unrealistic either.

I'm trying to find a way that makes sense, but I just can't. Why would they WANT him to sit?

It might be Cho's mastermind plan to make both of MKG and Biz play limited minutes and look like bust so he could justify signing them to cheap extensions. I'm not one to believe in conspiracies and that way of thinking but there's always that possibility and it's just a outlandish thought that may be true in some sorts.

If they bust signing them to cheap extensions or any extension doesn't make sense, they're busts get them out and bring in someone better

I never said they were bust but we misuse them in our grand scheme of things that would make the perception of them from casual fans think they are bust. Neither of MKG or Biz are bust. They are advanced statistically great defenders at a very young age.

Then why does Hendo still start over CDR and Tolliver?

The way Tolly's been shooting lately, are you kidding me. CDR? #chemistry?

Looking at how well DeRozan, Afflalo have developed there's no reason why Hendo shouldn't be playing better.

Tolliver just needs to stay in a rhythm. he'll figure it out. CDR has been awesome. He deserves to be starting.

DD and AA have increased roles this season. DD and AA went from 2nd to 1st option this year. Hendo decreased from 2nd to 3rd option this year.

I'm going to the Wiz game Monday. If you see a dude on your television with a "FREE MKG" sign, it's me.

Y'all better be careful about wearing those #FreeMKG shirts. Cho might take it to mean not to exercise another year of his rookie contract. Lol

I'd have a clarifying statement on the back something like "And by that I mean put him in the game"

We all know that MKG is a defensive savant and all but it's looking like it's going to take him another offseason to get his offensive game right. He started the season so confident hitting stepback and pull-up midrange jumpers and attacking the basket at will and I thought he was gonna average 13-15 points and then he just went back into that shell. He need to go seek the Wizard of Oz this summer for some courage. His confidence is holding him back. I don't know what he's afraid of, the leader of the team is his best friend on the team so he should have all of the confidence in the world. He was never this timid in high school or college and I've seen enough flashes to know that he can score well into double figures.

MKG is not going to really play in this system til he learns to shoot. I think he maybe the odd man out and we may look to move him.

The problem is that this system truly only fits one guy we have now and that is Al. The rest of the team could get out and run but the only way Al will run is if you convince him there is a buffet at the other end of the court.

I agree that MKG will suffer and be moved because BRD cannot adapt to personnel on the floor. When Al is out our team should pressure D and run, but no we slow down and struggle in the half court which is why Al has to play major minutes because he is the only guy made for the system we run.
