    Ime Udoka doesn't like the bench. Jabari Smith 12 minutes.

    DNP-CD to everyone on the bench.

    So . . .. does Denver lack a bench .. i.e. the people were unplayable
    or
    The Coach simply did not use them adequately?

    Rocket River
    Did their coach do well enough to get the permanent gig?

    It's up to the coach, GM, and staff to DEVELOP a bench. Usually a deep bench contains multiple guys who were not sexy draft picks, high profile trade targets, or big name free agents. They developed their game with sweat and forced their way into the rotation.

    Think..
    Obi Toppin: 4 ppg, 30% 3-point shooter in 11 min/game starting in NY, defensive liability
    As a Pacer: 10.5 ppg, ~40% 3-point shooter in 20 min/game, and able to guard multiple positions

    Agreed
    EVERYONE IN THE NBA HAS ENOUGH TALENT TO BE PRODUCTIVE
    They gotta work. They gotta be develop.
    I think too many orgs expect kids to come in completed projects
    No time for development
    Those teams that develope will win

    Should've taken less money like Brunson did.

    I’m glad he said that. Everytime Ime played more than 8 guys we win easy. When you play a deep team, everyone will have fresher legs. That was the coaching mistake Ime made in not using the entire team. I personally thought he should’ve played at least 10 guys.
