Why did it take an injury for Norwell to play?

To my eyes Norwell may be the best guard on the team currently. My question is, why wasn't this known week's ago? Norwell was not even active on Sundays until injury forced the coaches hand.

Practices are also for evaluating talent, yes? Do you trust their ability to do so effectively?

I mean there are certainly things that coaches see that even the most diehard, knowledgeable football fans don't... we're not at every practice, in the film rooms, interacting with these guys...

 

Having said that, some things (like this one and the Bell situation) look pretty obvious to everyone...  I don't have an answer, but I would like to hear someone closer to the staff, like Bill Voth for instance, take on it.

No I do not. Rivera likes to play favorites. He should've been starting all along. Amini had no business starting to begin with. Even though Norwell is solid at guard, I think Velasco and Turner is good inside. I think with Norwell at RT our line would've been better from the beginning. Norwell is such a great utility tool we can plug him in anywhere. You can sit Velasco for him if you want to keep him at guard, but I think for overall improvement on the line he should be at RT.

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
