Why JJJ has to play 25+ minutes per game

You are overly complicating this.  This post started as "if JJJ plays more he has more stats."  All "facts" were based on per game performance.  It takes a special brand of crazy to extend to 18 pages an argument based on the premise that if a player plays more minutes the player will have better numbers.  It's like a bad trip at a Dead concert.


Very bad, terrible really....

I know the shots may not have fallen, but I liked JJJ tonight. He was strong on the boards, only overpursued a couple times on steals (forced a turnover on one overpursuit anyway), and had a few shots that could have fallen.

Let's be honest, no one shot well, so that's hardly the biggest sin in this one.

Totally agree - yet those in your camp simply can't seem to wrap your head around the fact that if a player is on the court longer he is going to post stats.  Derrick Wilson is a great case in point.  By virtue of being on the floor 34 minutes a game he's bound to score 5 points and grab a few rebounds and get a few assists.  What is sad is when you play THAT much and that's all the production you can bring to the table.  Yet we have people here suggesting playing time needs to be "earned."

My question:  How does a guy who scores at half the rate of another player, rebounds, steals and blocks shots at a lower rate, as well as turn the ball over at a higher percentage of possessions "earn" two times the playing time of another guard on the roster??
I know you do not see it, but it is his defense. I know you will say no way, but it is what it is. Two different coaching staffs have seen it and most of the anouncers (most have played or coached) do see it.

Agreed with this assessment. He's playing better as of late. Hopefully it is a sign of an upward trajectory

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

This thread has worn me out, so I'm moving on.

Still never heard what Wojo's motivation to discipline JJJ could have been other than what Wojo stated, and now I never will, at least not in this thread.

Carry on, all.
