You’re the one with a silly 1990’s mindset, why don’t you add 20 lbs of sarcasm to this post? maybe it will be effective then.
Is Hartenstein even still on the roster? I thought last night when Zubac was going crazy against us would have been a good time to have him out there. He is listed in the Box Score as a DNP but I am puzzled that if he is still on the team why they did not put him out there against a guy with similar size to see if he could have made a difference.
He can only learn on the court. I think esp when everyone is back he should get some time I would have liked them to give him some burn now Rocket River
It looks like hartenstein won't get time until there is a blowout . It's a shame because I think he plays best when he can show off his defensive rotations . He's not the pure athlete that will look good in garbage time .
Garbage time is exactly where he needs to show up to be trusted for more important rotational minutes.
Until we sign Faried, assuming we do, we have no reliable big man to rebound and protect the paint. It just seems to me if Hartenstein is on the roster and not down in g league somewhere, now would be the time where it would make sense to give him a few minutes and see what he can do.
Why does his name show up in the box score? The game against LA would have been the perfect time to match him up against LA's big man. If he was indeed down in the g league and not with the team, that was stupid on MDA's part as we currently have no answer when the other team parades big men out there that can reach over Tucker and others to grab rebounds. The result is that much more pressure on Harden and we all know he is carrying a big enough load as it is.
He can give us 5-6 minutes a game. Faried's addition may reduce his chances, but not entirely. He can use his length to rotate out and defend on the perimeter.
For the more important minutes , the team needs to function as a unit . If the only burn he gets is with knight and Chriss on the floor , how can he show that his rotations are correct ? Maybe garbage time helps him get used to the speed of the game . I've got no problem with that . I just don't think he's going to show his true potential playing in that type of environment
He must have really broken trust to not see any playing time when his skill set was so needed. If coach isn’t going to give him any playing time than the g league is were he belongs. I thought he was having an average “rookie type” year. He needs some consistent run to work through his development. Never going to happen for him & MDA. —> sad we picked him and coach want play him (it’s year 2). Why draft projects while MDA is coach—> waisted pick.
This dude is toying with the G League. Racked up a triple double 12 points, 16 rebounds, 11 ASSISTS last game. He should be making a hell of an impression. Dunking like a maniac all the time too. Love it.
When Hartie is in the G-League he tries to rip down the rim. He never shows that much confidence on the varsity team.
I think maybe he's been sending a message that he can do what Faried does i.e. dunk and rebound like hell.
I think it’s safe to say he won’t be toying with the nba. I’ve seen enough to safely say he won’t be anything better than an average player. When he got stuffed at the rim by a smaller guy the other night, I put the nail in the coffin on any hope for his development.
