    Want to see more from him. Hope Stotts can figure out the right move. (History doesn't give me a lot of confidence)

    Per 36 he’s only averaging like 237 fouls.

    Yeah but with all those fouls he’ll never play 36 minutes so what’s your point?

    What quality young player did Stotts never play who ended up being some major contributor elsewhere?

    Even Bazemore thinks Gabriel fouls a lot!

    “There’s opportunities up there...” translation “the Blazers have been sucking big time”.

    Mr. Gabriel had a nice Christening in my book. He certainly gave it his all, was in the middle of a lot of hustle plays, and did better against the Unibrow than I could have hope .

    Now back to the GLeague with him!

    J/K I hope he's with the team for the rest of the season.

    :cheers:

    The real issue is that our benches have always sucked but he still plays the shittiest of the shitty bench players we have. At least play the less shittier of the bunch.

    That was the only person over 8 seasons that I thought could even be a possible answer. I'm assuming you could find 1 player over a 8 year span of any coach that could've warranted more playing time. I'm guessing Stotts has a much better track record of taking under utilized young talent from other teams (Nurk, Harkless, Skal, etc) and making them productive than the other way around. That's a boring narrative though.

    Yes Will Barton went from playing 10 minutes per game in Portland to 24 minutes per game in Denver. everything got better for Barton after he went to Denver, three-point shooting, 2-point shooting free-throw shooting and rebounding. Now he is a starter playing 33 minutes per game.

    Why did Sacto have Wenyen in the G-League?

    I think he’ll learn more from limited minutes in the NBA, and practicing against Melo than he ever would in the G-League.

    He's better than Hezonja (not a high bar to pass) Need to calm down on the fouls even though I thought he got some BS ones called on him
