While I'll say I haven't agreed with every decision Rick has made this season (or even broad strokes of his strategy from jump street) I will say I don't believe we would be markedly better or worse with McGee on the court. It does seem odd that he went from having about a 10-game stretch where he looked engaged and active, to street clothes on game 11 with no really obvious reason. I'm sure there's more to this story than we know just from watching, but against teams with athletic centers McGee would seem like a decent option to play backup or even just third string center.
That said, I've said all along this season that I feel like this roster has too many holes for even a great coach to plug. I'm very hopeful that this summer sees a major roster upgrade or, barring that, a youth movement overhaul.
