I’m confused by the amount of comments I see about how it’s crazy that Ivey didn’t get more minutes and that Killian was bad.

For Ivey, Monty has been super transparent. If you get blown by and cannot play defense, he’s going to hold you accountable. Tonight wasn’t his night offensively and so it makes sense between not having his offense going for him and being bad defensively that he only got the minutes he did.

For Killian, Monty has been very clear about him as well. He likes that he’s a big guard, that always makes the right decision, plays good defense. He hasn’t once said, I really like his ability to score or space the floor. That’s not why he’s getting his minutes so please stop box score watching and pay attention to what he’s actually contributing to the team.
