Barnes running all Bench line ups does not work

Precious is a hub in any lineup with Barnes and bench lineups.

Why is Barnes deferring at times to Precious or anyone else when he has Mitchell on him in single coverage?

    The days of playing the starters for 35+ minutes are over. The bench will get more playing time, and it looks like Darko is allowing Precious and the bench to play through their mistakes and not punish them for it.

    In a recent interview, Dennis said Malachi is playing well because the coach empowers him by trusting and keeping him involved. And we are seeing the results.

    In the 3rd quarter last night, Malachi took a corner 3 the shot was blocked by Strus. Seconds later he took the same shot without hesitation over Mobley and made it.

    And for the Scottie question. The man said it himself.

    “I love passing the ball, I’m a playmaker as well. So I like getting guys involved into the game, that’s what I do.”

    Be careful bro anything besides slobbering over Barnes will get you lots of hate in this subreddit.

    PS he isnt good at offense, so much for his 5 game stretch to start the season which this entire sub reddit wanted to proclaim him as an AS, LOL

    everyone wants Scottie’s usage and numbers to go up, Scottie+bench is kind of the blueprint

    It’s easy for him to find Pascal or OG

    It’s a growth experiment to be more assertive and look for his own shot when it’s all on him

    Precious really lacks IQ. He wants to be like Scottie OG and Pascal, if he stuck to the things he was good at he’d be a decent rotation player but he is a classic case of trying to do too much
