You absolutely must give NAW and Hayes minutes


1) 13 active doesn't mean 13 play. Even in the regular season most teams don't play all 13 guys every night. It's usually more like 9-10.

2) That's supposed to be one of the benefits of owning your own GLeague team, so you can control the coaching and have the team focus on developing your guys.

Again, what I don't think a lot of you are processing is just how deep this team has become. It's no longer 2-3 bad contracts and a few Journeyman GLeaguers rounding out spots 10-15.

The team is very high on Jackson, why would they play NAW over him from the start? The same can be said of Okafor/Hayes. Griffin has also been very specific about the culture setting veterans need to also be good enough to earn minutes. I just don't see how Hayes and NAW start the season getting minutes for the Pels when we have a GLeague team and they want to see what they have in some of these other players.

Well said ATL. Agree with all of that.

And while last night was fricking awesome, it was just one game. A summer league game.

Would not shock me at all if some of the rookies had some stints in the G league. You don’t get better by sitting, you get better by playing. And the minutes might not be there.
