Jamal Ferguson = Pat Hazell

[ATL MU Warrior]

With Jake Thomas playing ahead of him, Jamal sitting on the bench isn't a "depth issue."

I wasn't referring specifically to Jamal, but rather to your assertion that the concept of freshman sitting is outdated and that if players are "good" they get minutes as freshman. 

I guess I just don't view it as an indictment against the young guys, but rather that the upperclassmen are just better, as they should be.

Well, it does.  It's just that "his favorites" coincide with who best helps the team win.

I'm not sure Joe Fulce was the best help to victory but he is probably still Buzz' all time fave

So Buzz played his favorite player of all time 8 minutes per game as a senior.  Kinda makes the point that he doesn't play favorites.

I was agreeing with you

Jake Thomas is basically a senior with what should be a deadly shot. I feel this is a situation where JT has outperformed JF in practice. Unfortunately it hasn't translated to games. Even from a traditional standpoint, there is nothing wrong with giving Thomas minutes ahead of JF.

Traditional or conventional? Thomas is the only one getting traditional minutes.

I'm trying to think about one issue I care less about than Jamal Ferguson's minutes ... and I'm drawing a blank.

Dylan Flood's minutes?
