You can't play your bench 10-20 minutes each one game and turn around the next with a bunch of DNP-CD's and expect thme to be consistent. If anything; a young player( like Fino was and is); needs to know he is going to play about X number of minutes at X time of the game. That is what has been the difference in our bench play this year.
Look what happens to the bench in the second half if Flip screws up the first half substitutions? It takes them longer to get in a rhythm in the second half. This will become less important asthey mature but when they are young; there is nothing like being consistent with them to get consistency out of them.
Could you imagine Stuck, AA, Delfino, Max and AJ on the floor togehter after getting acquainted with each others games? That would have been awesome!!!!!!!! |
Flip has mentioned that for him is that league as league of match-ups: that 's why inconsistent mins for bench last year. Bench was so bad , if you remember , in many games starting 5 had to become back and finish the game cuz bench had lost big lead.
