You guys are missing the point. It's not that other players chucking gives Marshon the right to chuck. It's that, if that line-up is going to chuck...then you rather have someone CAPABLE of chucking than those other guys. At the very least, Marshon has shown that he's capable of knocking those tough shots.

i'd rather not have guys chucking at all... thats kind of the point. not to have low bbiq/chuckers on the court. thats kind of the reason those guys dont play. because they dont help you win. there is a reason mirza is in street clothes and tyshon is glued to the bench.

You obviously don't.

What difference is there in a line-up that can't get a good shot off (Watson/Stack/Chill/Evans/Blatche) and a line-up with Brooks instead of say, Chill?

A bad possession of those five, with Watson or Stack nearly losing the ball every 2-3 seconds, or Blatche taking a contested fade-away from 20 ft out is THE SAME THING as Marshon taking a fade-away or step back jumper with 5 seconds left on the clock.

Actually, no...there is one difference. Marshon's fade/step back jumper is a higher percentage shot because of his ability compared to those other five when they are not in their comfort zone.

I get what your saying but Avery is trying to get Brooks playing within the system which he hasn't done in his limited minutes.

The game versus the Kings he was very good then when he got on court versus LA he made a few mistakes in a row and was pulled never to be seen for a while.

Now that's harsh as hell but its obviously trying to drive home how Avery wants Brooks to play. Hopefully he comes out the other side a better player and someone to help push us forward.

D Will and JJ were making mistake after mistake for a long time and still aren't 100% but they get more leeway due there past All Star performances.

Like I said, I'm hoping down the line Teletovic and Brooks show us enough to start getting back up minutes down the line because they would obviously help our team if they performed well.
