Because there is a log jam at the wing and there are guys with higher draft status that they are invested in and want to try and give every chance to succeed ahead of him.

Yeah sorry Dick, Battle does everything you do… but better.

He should be ahead of JKW and Dick for sure. I still like Ochai’a D


Doubt Darko will ever do that. FO has too much invested into GD as a lottery pick.

And he’s very fundamentally sound defensively. Doesn’t make mistakes.


He's better defensively than Gradey, that's for sure. Decent rounder too.

They always talk about how Gradey is "more than a shooter". Sure......but is he good enough to do anything more than shoot wide open 3's? I would say no. It's one thing to be able to do more.....but can you do those things consistently at an NBA level?

They're trying to win games this year. Darko's job is potentially at risk for probably the first time. If things keep going the way they have, he's going to play who is helping him win games.

Battle should've been getting more minutes over Dick a long time ago. But politics

Gradey's leash is already much shorter this year. Wouldn't shock me to see him out of the rotation.
