We're not even 20 games in, I don't see much point playing these young guys when we have capable players in front of them. They're learning a ton right now, so they're still developing even if it's not on the court.

The fact that Ross and 2pat have proven in the past that they can shoot give them the edge. This team needs shooting and cause of that Casey has to play play Ross and 2pat.

Great read from Smitch.

This in particular rang true for me:
These are things that veteran teams just take for granted. We have to teach all of that. So, OK, people think, “Well you told them.” But how long does it take to break bad habits, habits that you have had ever since you started playing basketball? You can’t just do it by telling them once. If no one has ever taught you how to set a proper screen, I have got to show you Monday, I have got to show you Tuesday, I got to show you Wednesday, on tape Thursday, on tape Friday — until it becomes second nature.

“We’re giving (Simmons) and Kyle minutes to try and prepare them to become real pros and real contributors in the league,” Popovich said.With an eye toward determining exactly how deep his bench runs, Popovich has been giving Anderson and Simmons a bit more leeway to play through mistakes.
With one caveat.
“Not on defense,” Popovich said.Anderson says his confidence “is just going up with every game.” His teammates have noticed.

Ties back well to what Sam Mitchell was saying in his interview.

Interesting read on Thon Maker, who was picked right after Jakob. The prioritization of the development of his lower body is great; that's where I think other programs that focus excessively on upper body mass building go wrong.
