In other team news, rookie point guard Josh Selby was sent down to the team's D League affiliate, the Reno Bighorns. I don't see this as a negative for Selby or the team. With Jeremy Pargo and O.J. Mayo sharing back-up point guard duties and no current injuries on the perimeter, Selby was only seeing the floor during so-called “garbage time.” I've been reasonably impressed by Selby in his limited minutes so far this season and am more optimistic about his ability to handle point guard duties in the NBA than I was before the season started. But he's still raw and needs court-time to develop. Going to Reno will allow Selby a heavy dose of court time. This is what the D League is for, and Selby is exactly the kind of player it's designed to benefit. Selby made his Bighorns debut Tuesday night, scoring as team high 26 points on 10-15 shooting in a 118-110 loss to the Austin Toros. On the down side, Selby had only 1 assist to 6 turnovers
