Saunders on WDFN: Bench will play an increased role

Quote:
Flip Saunders tells Sports Radio 1130 Detroit that he is far more comfortable this year giving playing time to his bench, particularly his young guys.
He insists that he will even have young players finishing big games at times this year, as evidenced already by Jason Maxiell.
He also gives his take on the comments being spewed between the Michigan and Michigan State football teams this week.

Bench (JMax, Hayes, Murray, Nazr) has been stinking it up so far.

the bench combines for only seven minutes more than Rasheed Wallace, yet they manage to turn the ball over only 1 less time than the entire starting 5...

Why does Afflalo only get a couple of minutes? Where's Amir? I thought he had a good practice. Flip is full of it.

Our bench lost the game tonight. The Bulls starters were - and our starters were + for the game. Their bench killed us.

Still, our bench should have played more.

You were hoping for a Bulls blowout?

The bench had 7 turnovers, way too many, given how few minutes they played..

The second unit didn't rebound, no AJ.

Maxey's rebounding is still mediocre at best. He rebounds like a small forward not a power forward. He is averaging 4 rebounds a game in 20 MPG. Those are not PF numbers.

In fact our overall rebounding stinks, as our best rebounder continues to sit.
