What's up with Lance

As the title says, he has not featured in the rotation at all (not counting 2-3 minutes of garbage time).
I thought he played decently at the start of the season when he was in the rotation.

Anyone know what happened?

We got Barbosa. Hill and Barbosa means less time for Price and Lance. Even before that, Lance wasn't making the strides on the court the staff was hoping for.

I think Vogel has said the problem is his off the ball defense.

Whose minutes would you cut to get him on the floor? I don't think he embarrassed himself when he was getting run but it was pretty easy to see an upgrade when Price seized the opportunity. Lance is seeing the downside of being a very young player with holes in his game taken in the second round.

The rotation will continue to be tightened and Barbosa has played well.

It's a good thing for Lance he signed a 4 year deal when he did. It really gives the incentive to Indy to hold onto him and give him plenty of time to develop.

Bigger PG's have always had difficulty as pro's because the game gets faster and teams tend to start using their skill sets and ability's at SG, moreso then PG.

You look at guys like Ron Harper, Jamal Crawford, Jason Kidd, etc.

In their first few years or stint in the league, they tend to have a falling out while finding and harnassing their games for the pro level.

But once they do, LOOK OUT!!!!
