It’s frustrating being a big, defensive-minded team, and not closing out possessions with rebounds.
With McDaniels out and room in the rotation, I wish Finch would try throwing Miller out there in games like last night. We’re not getting much from Shake or even Naz off the bench these days-- why not throw one of the best rebounders in the draft out there and see what kind of energy he brings?
I agree. While I get the “if he was ready, he’d play” sentiments, that isn’t Finch’s track record. He hates playing rookies as a rule. I’d really love to see Miller get even 5-6 minutes in the second quarter to see how he responds. Until Jaden gets back, we’re really going to struggle against certain teams.
