    Ooops that was supposed to go in the Transactions thread. Where our guard rotation was being discussed.

    No it was here actually in response to abeer mentioning him right above on this page.

    Yeah it was a bit strange but I almost took it as a sign of respect, with Vogel not wanting him to be seen as just a “garbage time” player. Due to our depth we didn’t need him this game, so why throw him in for 2 minutes at the end to drag down his averages?

    I think the reality is he hasn’t earned it quite yet. We have a lot of quality players to play and rotations to figure out. He’s low man on the totem pole for now, so DNP’s aren’t shocking.

    but I bet by year end he carves himself out some regular minutes. He’s hungry and won’t be denied.

    Seems like Vogel wants to give THT more minutes but he also wants to keep the veterans happy. It's the politics THT will have to deal with right now.

    If Vogel sat THT for Defensive motivation purposes, I'm all for it. If he sat him just because there's not enough minutes then we've got beef.

    With Caruso out I thought it was a little strange to DNP him.

    "An enterprising rebuilding team could even go for the full Tyler Johnson (two years at MLE, followed by two years at a much larger number), an absolutely bananas contract for somebody with 129 career minutes but also one that would be virtually impossible for L.A. to match."
