    This would kind of explain his performance, but why the fuck did Stotts play him so many minutes??

    So: you're BLAMING him for playing? Isn't that kind of the Coach's call?

    Not to mention the D Trent played, especially against Doncic. Doncic was just giving the ball up sometimes when he had Trent on him.

    Huh. I hadn't really thought of that.

    Ant has started 5 games in his career, and in those starts averages 16ppg, .543TS5, and nearly 4 assists. It probably goes without saying this is significantly better than his bench production.

    If we do rest CJ, I'd rather get Starter Ant over Bench Ant. Maybe he should get the Noah Vonleh treatment.

    We can always adjust at half time. I don't think Trent will see it as a big deal, as long as he's there at the finish line.

    I was curious:

    upload_2020-8-12_9-30-57.png

    obvious sample size issues, and of course this doesn't include his one shining-light game from last season

    what stands out to me isn't that he's actually worse as a starter, but how bad he has been overall. Trent is only 5 months older than Simons

    really?

    here is Portland current guard roster:

    CJ McCollum
    Anfernee Simons
    Damian Lillard
    Gary Trent Jr.

    that's it...there's nobody else and Simons sucks. And Trent plays a lot of SF, in part because Ariza is not playing. And the SF alternatives are Hezonja, Little, & Hoard

    yeah. this is a Stotts problem, but Olshey created it
