Could very well happen. Looks like it took his firing for our young guys to realize this is a business and people get fired for not delivering. They've been good since he got fired.HighRoller74;1579486 wrote:What would be hilarious to me, would be for Bennett to come out rest of the season and play like that, all the while thinking of Chris Grant sitting in his living room all alone, openly crying, all while whimpering" I knew it"
Saw Sam Amico tweeted Bennett is averaging 10pts 5 rebs and 63% from 3pt in February. Glad to it's starting to come together for him.

Agreed, that was just dumb. Either play him or send him to the D league.bases_loaded;1579502 wrote:Its hard to gain confidence sitting on the bench and getting DNP CD

I guess the team thought it would be harder to gain confidence by being demoted to a sub-NBA league. Hard to argue with what we've seen lately.bases_loaded;1579502 wrote:Its hard to gain confidence sitting on the bench and getting DNP CD

I also thought at the time that PT in DL > DNP CD, but I can't fault their reasoning for not sending him down.Commander of Awesome;1579572 wrote:Agreed, that was just dumb. Either play him or send him to the D league.

Has a #1 overall pick been sent to the D-league before?
If not, I can kind of see the reason for not sending him as that would be a dubious first and could really screw with his confidence.

I still don't think just bc it hasn't happened before, means its a good reason not to have sent him down.lhslep134;1579697 wrote:No. Highest pick to be sent down was #2 Thabeet

Yeah, not sending him down was more of an arrogance factor on Grant's end. He didn't wanna be the guy to do it.Commander of Awesome;1579701 wrote:I still don't think just bc it hasn't happened before, means its a good reason not to have sent him down.
He needed to be sent down, even if for only a game or 2. Let him get some run down there and get his confidence.

Loved this comment.
"In Bynum's defense, that same strategy netted Josh Smith a $54 million contract from Detroit"

Ah shit sorry. He's on my fantasy team and those are his weekly numbers. I thought it was his first game of the week.

And Bennett has only played 15 minutes today, after 30 in the last game.

With only 7 mins to go in the game, Kyrie had 0 assists, now with less than a minuted, hes got 4. Would be nice if he'd show this kind of effort the whole game.

Their bigs determined the big man rotation. Although I think Bennett should get all Clark's minutes

I think bases loaded is right. Bennett got destroyed on the defensive end so he didn't get as many minutes and zeller after picking up 2 quick ones played pretty well when he was in there.
