<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">''Malik's played well,'' coach Scott Skiles said before Saturday's game. "He's made his shots. He's been able in short minutes, three- or four-minute spurts, to come in and be productive. That's hard to do. He's played with some energy. So I'll keep going that route for now and see what happens. But we don't have the team where anything is really set in stone.'' That route kept Michael Sweetney, who started 30 of 43 games, on the bench in the two games before Saturday. "It's tough, but it's also a positive,'' Sweetney said. "It is positive because I can sit, watch, and learn. Offensively and defensively you see a lot things that are open that you don't see on the floor. I'm just not playing well on defense.'' Asked what he needed to work on, Sweetney said: "Everything.'' Skiles said he had not spoken specifically to Sweetney the last two days. "But Mike knows what's expected of him,'' Skiles said. "Hopefully, I can get him a chance sometime here soon. I just happen to like the guys in front of him right now, the way that they're playing.''</div> <div align="center"> Source</div> Highlighted the key lines in the article that explain why Sweetney is not playing. One thing that the article reiterated for me was how much of a professional Mike is, he is really well spoken, how many guys would have been complaining and criticizing Skiles right now?
lol, when I was reading his quote and it goes "It is a positive because I can sit.." I was thinking, you idiot, wrong thing to say, but then I read on. Yeah he seems like a professional though, hopefully he will work on his game, he is costly me fantasy points.
Basically hes sitting because hes out of shape, big surprise there, and all and all Skiles hasn't been liking how hes playing. Too many fouls, not as effective as he was the first few weeks of the season.
