He never played them. He didn't even watch them in practice. The great coaches of today play there young talents when necessary(ex. Pop,Rivers). That's what separates him from those coaches. Still a good coach.
How long have you watched the NBA? Anybody who has like the Magic since AT LEAST 04 knows the were already well in the rotation when Van Gundy arrived.
I watched he D-League games this year and Liggins really impressed with his new offensive game the last few days of the week. He made a lot of jumpers and even a few 3pointers. Harper shot the ball kind of bad but played good defensive and was clutch in the one of the last games and forced a 2nd overtime with a 3. I'm not sure what to think yet.
You guys can't judge them for getting 15 game's of garbage time last season. Harper got minutes twice, vs Utah and vs Memphis(last game). Liggins got minutes maybe 5 times and was pretty impressive in those games.
Just Stop. Wade was the 5th damn pick. He didn't even play Redick the first season he was coach, and hardly the second season. Odom was entering his 5th season when he arrived in Miami and he only played 1 season there. I give you Gortat(even though he really no choice considering Foyle was the only other center on the roster). He didn't even play Lee much at first.
not calling him and idiot, just pointing out he never played are young talent(with the exception of courtney lee). though we haven't really had a good young since lee
