Well sure, in certain circumstances. But not in ours. He's certainly not a finished product, but despite that, he's objectively better than at least 1 guy ahead of him (Frye), and probably a couple more. The number 2 isn't a huge number, but it's a bigger number than 1. So if you're listing numbers in descending order, 2 is going to come before 1. That's very basic. We're actively hurting our chances of winning if we're not playing our best players. And to compound the issue, AG is a guy who is presumably an important part of our future, so it behooves us on multiple levels to play him.
Skiles is an NBA coach and I'm not, but no one will convince me to defer to his wisdom on this issue, because he's wrong. I have all the information I need to make that declaration.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.
- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.
