EXACTLY! you can’t please everyone and it would certainly be a damn feeding frenzy of negative post if the young man did get minutes and played awful
i think a lot of folks forget that the coaching staff see’s what these players can and cannot do way more than we do. They see them consistently at practice and when they are working out. while we speculate over a few clips or minutes we’ve seen of a player in garbage time of a game.
a perfect example is Forbes. Forbes gets run not because he is a teachers pet but because the guy is a damn good shooter. I remember listening to NBA radio over the summer and Antonio Daniels some how got to talking about Bryn Forbes and how good a shooter he is. Daniels still lives in San Antonio and he has played pick up ball with a lot of the Spurs players and he says during pickup games Forbes simply doesn’t miss when he shoots the ball. Lol. Daniels said the guy is one of the best shooters he has ever seen play the game. He also pointed out his deficiencies but stated the reason that a guy like Forbes is in the league is due to his shooting and in today’s game shooting is a needed skill more than ever.
I say all of that to say this again. I think Primo definitely is a better overall player than Forbes is now or every will be but this team needs shooting badly and Joshua needs minutes to work on his craft. Joshua isn’t going to beat out any of the players in front of him on the depth chart because if he was he would’ve impressed enough during Summer League, off season training, training camp, and preseason. The coaching staff has seen enough so far to think he can benefit from the G-League because they’ve seen him extensively more than we have
