and he's right.
There was way too much "DNP - Coaches decision" for 5+ games then all of a sudden 20+ minutes a night until the guy failed.
Nurse managed his roster with as much spite as strategy this year. As much as I want to blame Masai for not filling the roster gaps, I see the counter argument from Masai. You want a backup? You have Malachi, play him until he proves he can't fill the role, we're trying to be patient and develop our talent here, which has always been the Raptors way. You have NBA calibre bench forwards in Thad, Boucher, & Precious...find roles for them.
No one was given a role they were fit for, Nurse just seemed to jam players in wherever (Juancho at centre, lol...Thad at centre, lol). I'm not saying Nurse had an easy job this year, but I think he did a bad job with the hard job. Not only weren't we good, we didn't learn much of fuck all about the young depth players on our roster, or develop them for future success. Are Malachi or Dalano NBA calibre guards? Is Precious actually good? Any surprises in the system (Champ, Harper, etc)?
