    Good point. I have no idea how I managed to forget that Martin has joined the team. Bottom line is that Battriza needs to see less time.

    Athletes are not politicians, sometimes they come off as awkward in interviews.

    They seemed really nervous too, especially Jordan.

    Putting Hill out on the floor right now without some pre-coach/training would be a disaster IMO and destroy his confidence. He needs some coaching like they gave Joey and then maybe even a little D League action to tryout what he learned and build some endurance and confidence. Personally I don't think he should see any PT until the end of the year or maybe even next year.

    Now Budinger on the other hand seams ready for increased PT.

    That's what I thought. They just seemed uncomfortable on camera.

    I've met C-Bud before and had a nice chat with him, definitely didn't seem this nervous

    I gotta say I was quite surprised Jeffries saw the court before Hill.

    If we want Hill to contribute for next year we must develop him this year first! That said, RA get off Ariza's dick and start playing chase more as well!

    If they aren't going to play Hill more than 10 minutes a game, I think they should give him a short stint (1-2 months) in the NBDL.

    Bud obviously needs more minutes at the expense of Battier who just needs to be benched. Hill needs 10 minutes or so a game, he was at least getting that in NY. I am hoping we treat Hill like we did Landry and slowly increase his time and role. Jeffries and Hill need to split Hayes minutes who also needs to be benched.

    Honestly as a fan would you rather watch Battriza and Hayes going 4/23 or see the young guys get some run?

    As I see the light at the end of the tunnel, my new soldiers on the frontline will help me through the battle and we will come out victors! The key to defeating the enemy is to suprise them with anything possible and they will not be able to defend against the new arsenal!

    Don't know about Hill. Landry didn't get the minutes just for the sake of minutes, he beat everybody in practice, as RA said.

    CBud has earned his playing time. Dorsey was starting to earn that after he's done well in practice.

    Hill needs to go through practice first.

    cbud should definitely play more. the season is getting out of hand: LESS ARIZA/BATTIER, more cbud/martin/hill and every other young guy.

    Jeffries has more experience. Hill is raw.

    Keep his minutes but limit his shots.

    AGREED NO WAY PLAYERS LIKE ARIZA MARTIN BATTIER AND SCOLA CAN BE OF ANY USE NEXT YEAR.

    5 STAR THREAD!
