    Agreed, i also don't like the idea of eventually give those few minutes to a guy like MCW when i think we should give them to Melton, i'm not a fan of leaving rookies in the d-league all the year, play them a bit here and there, there are 82 freaking games, toon of room to give them some burn and see what they can do, i understand that some are more ready than others, but those who have the physical tools to compete from day one should get some playing time here and there, young players have more chance to develop and get better if you play them with good players, throwing them out there for 45 seconds of garbage time is useless.

    I think we may need him for practice reasons. He will portray Livingston or something so we can plan better d

    for the love of god STOP COMPARING MCW TO LIVINGSTON.

    Livingston can dribble the ball without it going off his foot at least once every 10 minutes.
    Livingston at least can shoot a midrange jumper.
    Livingston at least can run a fast break without sending the ball off the court.
    Livingston is worlds better : passer, ball handler, shooter, finisher AND defender.

    What confidence? Does confidence affect depth perception and hand eye coordination ? No. That's what we call talent.

    Look, its obvious we've become a defense first team. The character of the team has changed. There were only 7 players we could play in the playoffs, because there were only 7 we could trust in our switching defense. MCW would have actually gotten some playing time if we had him, in spite of his horrendous shooting.

    In the past we would get people that could shoot and score, that maybe could be taught to defend.
    Now we're getting people that can defend, that maybe can be taught to shoot and score.

    We’ve been the biggest losers at free agency. A half away from beating GS and we can’t get anyone worth anything to even look at us. Pathetic.

    MCW is not that bad. Hes talented and just needs to be in the right environment and he can be a productive player off the bench.

    uhh we have no cap space, Ryan Anderson is the single most debilitating asset in the league right now.

    The only qualification to be considered these days is "Can he play switch defense?"

    We dont have cap room dude. Ariza is not worth 15 mil a year. Phoenix is a stupid team, idk why they needed Ariza. That team should keep tanking and stocking up...

    Maybe Chris Paul can help him a bit with his game.

    MCW is not a good fit imho. athletic but that potentially prolly tapped out at 26.
