    Stotts had him on the bench for the last 5 minutes of the game last night, though. JJ is a great hustle player, but he makes some plays that are just baffling. You take the good with the bad with a hustle guy like Hickson, but you can't depend on him as a starter, and you wonder if he'd willingly take a 7th man/first big off the bench role on anything other than a legitimate title team (if even that).

    The risk for him would be to get traded to a Sacramento situation again. How'd he do there?

    So maybe Stotts continuing to bench him late might motivate him for a change of scenery?

    That's up to Stotts. Stotts needs to do what it takes to win, no?

    He is, by putting Hickson on the bench in the 4th quarter
