Rui scores a cool 23 without a single play drawn for him. Ham meanwhile only played him 9 minutes in the first half. I know he had some turnovers, but Ham has barely played him pretty much all season. Why did we pay him $17 mil to watch him cook in garbage time? I like Prince’s game a lot but I don’t see any justification for him playing 30+ minutes a night While Rui struggles to crack 20. Rui is crazy efficient and is even shooting the 3ball better than Prince so far. Can’t even imagine what’s gonna happen to his minutes once Vando comes back
Different roles
Isn’t Rui just returning from injury? (I know Prince is too), but perhaps there’s some minutes restrictions while Rui gets back into game shape. IDK, but we are winning so it’s hard to question minutes right now.
Princes skillset is more plug and play.
Whereas with Rui he’s basically Brons backup and his minutes fluctuates based off particularly front court lineuos darvin wanna run.
Like if there’s a ton of Bron Wood AD.
Bron AD.
AD Wood.
His minutes are gonna be limited based off that and he’s the 3rd or 4th best front court player depending on who you prefer between Wood and Himself.
Whereas Prince only have to compete with Austin and Cam.
Darvin Ham is the reason.
Watch his mins. to go even further down once Vando and Gabe comes back.
Complaining just to complain, rather have this problem of figuring out which one of our talented wings to play then having to play fucking Patrick Beverley at small forward
