"We," as in Silas and Stone admitting they were wrong? Because it would be detrimental to their own reputation/career if they said that. If a player gets outplayed by an opposing player or a coach gets outcoached by an opposing coach, they're never going to outright say they were "out-whatever'd." It's always "Play needs to be better and it starts with me" or "it's on me to game plan better for the next one." Those two sound a lot better than "I was outplayed/outcoached." Because reputation matters. It's similar, all the way up to a GM. Stone is never going to admit that he might have whiffed on Green over Mobley, even though it's really early. He's never going to admit that he might have whiffed on Garuba (#23) over Ayo Dosunmu (#38) or Herb Jones (#35). Admitting you were wrong gives future employers reason(s) to pause. You'd be a good person for admitting fault, but it'd be on the record. And that's no good.
These players are teenagers. They’re at the beginning of the beginning of their career. We don’t know anything yet. They all need minutes and opportunities.
And he assumes Fernando will be resigned. Right now, Fernando doesn't have a guaranteed future with us. Whereas Garuba is signed for at least 3 more years after this season.
Using advanced stats in this SSS way not only fails to make the point being advanced, and undercuts the utility of the stat, but makes one laugh at the advancer. But, i mean, i guess Gary Clark so whatever
