I don’t get it. Why is Kentavious Caldwell-Pope second in the league in minutes per game? At the time of this writing he’s at 37.5, which is tied with James Harden; Jimmy Butler is the only dude who gets more time on the court. That amount of minutes should be reserved for players who are actually good, not role-players like KCP.
I understand that there are no other shooting guards on the roster since Jodie Meeks re-exploded his feet. But all SVG has to do is play Jackson and Jennings simultaneously and tell one of them to play off the ball. There would probably be a fistfight over who got to be the point guard in such a lineup, and whoever lost the fight would be severely undersized for the position, but that didn’t stop the Suns.
Or, since the trade deadline is coming up, they could just acquire Joe Johnson maybe. I don’t know. I’m always thinking of something.
