look, i want to see amir play as much as the next guy, and i think he should be getting some minutes since we're also developing stuckey and afflalo, but i'm not going to put so much blind faith in his abilities and exaggerate about how his career is being 'ruined.'
If he had been drafted by a running team, instead of a half court team, he would be starting by now.

Boozer was also taken in the second round. Remember AJ was only 6'9" when we drafted him and he is now close to 7'

We are ruining his career.
