It’s anything but sad.

If Pol Pop wasn't so senile and stubborn, Kyle would've been cut this offseason. But Pol Pop doesn't want to admit he was wrong about Kyle so he'll keep on marching him out there in front of the firing squad for 15 minutes every night, to the deferment of the team. Disgusting.
Bertans is going to have DNPs in the playoffs. But he's a weapon pop would consider and possibly play for about 5-8 minutes in any game where he sees it as a need.
In those 5-8 minutes, if Bertans can knock down a three or two...He would have done his role. Right now, he needs to be gunning so he can build a reputation. The better reptuation he builds, the better spacing he's going to provide for those 5 minute stretch.
Not only he is finding his stroke, but he is also showing some flashes defensively, especially shot-blocking skills that I didn't even expect from him. He is way more athletic than he is given credit for.
He misses some D rotations here and there, but you don't need more than 5 minutes watching him play to see that he has a place in the NBA and a future in SA.
athletic and one of the best shooters in the world, he will be playing in the playoffs
He had better stop shooting so well and playing defense. If he keeps that up, he's gonna find himself at the end of the bench wanting more minutes.
