I didn’t realize that James Michael McAdoo had even played since his breakout performance in January. It’s been a while, anyway, since his last appearance in early February, where he didn’t make his presence felt in one (1) second of action. I hate that. Why crap on a player by only playing him one measly second? It’s like an insult.
28 minutes is a little more substantial. I wouldn’t consider these minutes “earned”, more like “gifted by a Popovich-wannabe”, but minutes are minutes. He made the most of them, scoring a career high 16 points and displaying how aptly he can fill the Kuzmic role for the Warriors.
They’ll probably put him back in the D-League again after this game, since they won’t need his services again until maybe the playoffs. And that’s cool. Better to get playing time down there than wave towels in the NBA.
