    He's a sniper on the road but like everyone else, I'd like him at around 25 minutes. Ham loves him though so we'll have to live with his current minutes.

    I don't really mind Prince playing a lot, if he kept his shot attempts down. He hustles and makes a lot of good plays on both ends of the court. He can get carried away sometimes though, with jacking up shots. That is not his strong suit IMO

    Prince gets WAY too much hate around here for the level of play he gives us both sides of the ball and his decent wing size. He’s now shooting better for us from deep than Beasley or some of these other dudes who got here and couldn’t hit jack from deep.

    He gets hate, at least from, me because of the ... how do I put it, affection he gets from Pimple Moron. He plays waaaay more minutes than he should and Pimple is the absolute sole, unwarranted reason for that.

    So hate by extension. Fine by me.

    Once again, he’s an ok player. I like some of the things he gives us. I just don’t understand why he gets so many minutes on a deep roster especially with guys who are better, younger, on longer contracts than him. We’ve invested a lot of money in Rui, Vando, and Reaves.

    23 minutes is much closer to right.

    Yeah, no. He was given rest, like Bron. Pimple is saving him for the next one.

    Rebounding doesn't seem nearly as much of an issue without him in the lineup?
    Maybe I'm making this up but Max was noticeably better on the glass

    max is a good rebounder, imo. rebounding is much less about size than it is about intuition and motivation.

    Prince's off-ball defense is f***ing terrible: I counted at least 5 times Miami just ran the guy he was guarding right to the rim and sealed him. When they got the ball it was simple layup drill. Just unreal

    Minus the douchiness and dirty play and being one of the least likeable players in the history of the game. But yes, game contribution wise while getting the sole get out of jail free card while being guaranteed ridiculous playing time...I agree.

    Nothing is that bad. And I’m not a Prince fan. But point taken, it’s ridiculous.

    yeah, that was hyperbolic. bevs is the worst. what i mean is that coach got a vet security blanket who's not held accountable for producing while other players (e.g., reaves, dlo) are.
