I'm wondering, why is Garcia not playing much at all lately? He's not hurt. I know Martin is playing like a star and Salmons is solid, but Garcia is a player. No reason he should only be getting garbage minutes. I loved this kid at Louisville, he is a natural shooter, a good defender, and he's athletic. I just don't see any reason for him not playing some minutes at the 2 and 3. He played almost 20 mpg last year, and so far this year he's playing 5? After losing Bonzi and adding Salmons? Give me a break, he deserves playing time.

I'm sure the coaching staff knows what they are doing. Kevin Martin is playing 12 more minutes a game this year as well.
hes not playing that much becuase he is a scrub! I dont remember but afew games ago maybe against the timberwolves, he was just getting killed out there. hes not really as good of a shooter as people thinks he is, I really do not like him at all. he doesn't really do anything else besides shoot anyway

And I realize Martin is playing more, but that's because he is absolutely tearing it up out there, plus Bonzi is gone. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>hes not playing that much becuase he is a scrub!

Please... I don't think you've really ever seen him play if you don't think he can shoot the ball. He has excellent shooting mechanics, he can shoot from deep, and like I said he's a solid defender.
He is getting more time now, I really think he will develop into a great player. he has great instincts, especially on the defensive end. He has great timing for shot blocks, and he shoots the 3 very well. His decision making is still poor, but he reminds me of Kirlienko when he first came into the league. With the right coaching he can become a premiere player
