re: Should AD be shut down for the rest of the season?

Bring him back when he's fully healthy. That will be far before the end of the season though. while I don't expect us to make the playoffs either, the rest of the season is valuable experience for AD and the rest of the team regardless of whether we make the playoffs or not. And if we do make the playoffs, it's even more valuable experience for AD that he can build on for the future when we will be competing for championships
