I'm actually excited about it if so...  I mean, we started Hendo for how many years?  It's a welcome change, regardless of who it is, and from what I've seen, most of our fanbase wasn't very impressed with Lamb during the preseason.  Also, PJ started looking the part the further we got into the preseason. 

And regardless, I still believe his potential is a go-to scorer in the NBA, but I have also seen enough to think it's possible he isn't anything close to that.   Only way to tell either way, is to put him out there for extended minutes.  So, I like this move.

Does it really matter?  He could still play less minutes than the person on the bench.

I'm actually impressed Clifford is playing a young guy and giving him a chance.  That should have us pretty happy actually, especially for Frank's chances of getting PT.

Actually makes sense.  Lamb is banged up and was not very good in the preseason.  PJ if he can get hot would be the most dangerous three point shooter in this first unit.  Maybe he gets hot and makes a difference.  Big opportunity for him let's see what he can do.

Also this is basically Clifford telling Lin the second unit is his.

I would rather see what we have in young guys like Hairston and Lamb than starting an Elliott Williams who is a career 15th man just because he's a veteran. 

Also remember just because a guy starts, he won't necessarily get the bulk of the minutes.

In addition, they've also been playing a lot of Lin at the 2 with Kemba. I don't know how that has worked out or how much they plan on deploying it this year, but it's been done.

      Interesting: Former CAR RB Mike Davis Harshly Criticizes McCaffrey, Calls Him "Selfish as Poo"

      By CRA · Posted

      Mike Davis is like yeah, why would these coaches expect me to watch film on our next opponent if I'm playing good.  Yeah, I really don't pay attention to a lot of stuff around me if I'm doing good.   also Mike Davis, how dare they give all the reps to CMC.  from just listening to that interview, I think Mike Davis likely was often in Mike Davis' way and he can't comprehend that aspect.  Even his story of why he hated people.....was weird.  He hated Steve Spurrier because Spurrier was like hey Mike, Marcus Lattimore left...and we need you to step up into that role/void and be more for us.   And Mike Davis was like, can you believe that motha trucka!! Nah Steve.  Just give me the ball and leave me alone (paraphrasing it all obviously but that was the gist).

      Unless he's 1,000%, just sit him an extra week at this point to let him get his legs back under him. I want to see him out there as much as the next guy, but this was a serious thing and I'd rather wait an extra week than put him out one day too early and risk something going wrong, play the long game for once.

      God, these posts are really starting to piss me off If we're relying on Moore, Idzik, and Canales to carry that weight, then we're royally screwing over our young WR room.  It's not that those guys can't help with some of it, but these young promising WRs are going to miss out on a lot of learning that can only be provided by the vets on the team.   You do realize that coaches spend ZERO time in the locker room, right?   They are only in there just before games and at halftime, but the rest of the week, they have their own locker room, they only spend time with the players on the field and in the film room.  There is soooooo much time that you're leaving unaccounted for where players are working together to get better. Players are constantly talking about their game and how they can improve while they're in the locker room.  If you think career long special teamer David Moore is going to be able to carry that water in the locker room, then you're sorely and woefully mistaken. Even beyond that, if a coach pulls a player aside to give advice between series, that still means there are 4-5 other WRs who aren't getting individual advice, where that's normally a time a vet like Thielen is going over with them what he's seeing out there and how they can do X, Y, or Z to do A, B, or C better on the next drive.
