I don't think its because of Jermaine Taylor falling out of favor with the Rick Adelman, but its more because Adelman wanted to see and develop Courtney Lee. Lee was the prized player out of the mega-trade and he will be playing most of the SG minutes after Martin. I don't think we spent 2.5 million to buy Jermaine Taylor for nothing. I remember before in an article it said Rick really likes Jermaine and wants him to blossom. But its just that Courtney Lee is now the (unknown) focus at SG. Jermaine is still young. He got regular rotation minutes last season so there is no reason to say Adelman hates him. Adelman barely played Mike Harris and Mike Harris actually has a roster spot to compete for. I love Jermaine, but too bad he is not part of the rotation this season.
Great show down. alley hoops from Chuck, Lee and CBud. Ish Smith is showing some great talent there. Give the guy more chance!

His first presaon game 5 mins 5 points and yet Rick still sits his A on the bench. I hope he gets traded to somewhere where be can play
if he does become a productive nba player it will have to be something along the lines of brevin knight. which is certainly not a bad thing. i would think this is just like a von wafer tho. morey has been incredible in collecting these assets out of nowhere. one more big trade and i think this team is poised to win a championship
Ish is a walking assist. I think i even saw him get an assist from the bench. Just ridiculous. I hope he can do the same against a team that looks less lost than the Pacers did.
replied to ur other post above. see post no.4 I still think no matter how good Jermaine gets, he is still our 3rd SG. I love Jermaine and his potential, thats why I hated the Ariza trade. Jermaine might have to go down to the Vipers again for playing time.
That 2nd unit with Ish, Lee and BUd is unreal. Those highlights looked like NBA 2k. Ish with the no look behind the back passes. Chase Budinger catching the oop with his hand cocked back by his feet and sling-shotting it down on a helpless Pacer. And of course Courtney getting a return oop from Bud where he gets his head by the rim. They looked like the Suns a couple of years ago.
Smith is the real deal.....dude is so fast like Aaron Brooks and shocking part is that he makes it look effortlessly. Better vision than Brooks and looks like Steve Nash-like out there. I think we need to keep him in case Lowry or someone is injured.
