There is really no argument here, Courtney showed what he could do with minutes last year. Last year after the trade he averaged like 17 points, and had like a season high 33 against the Raptors. Now he is stuck behind Michael Jordan, Richard Hamilton, Hubert Davis AND Ty Nesby who IMO won the game for them vs the Suns. He came up with some big shots and a double double, especially the put back on the MJ miss with under a minute to go. All those guys are proven vets, including Rip Hamilton who is a HUGE part of that teams sucess. So who's minutes is he supposed to get David? Here he was behind Michael Finley and..................? It is no doubt the kid should've gotten some PT here, yet Nellie put him in some and din't put him in at other times. If that wont break a kids confidence knowing he should be getting minutes, than I don't know what will. With the Wizards he's playing behind MUCH MUCH MUCH more talent than he was when playing here for the Mavs. He's playing behind the best 2/3 punch in the game. That is exactly the 2 positions he plays. Behind those 2 starters are Vets like Hubert Davis and Ty Nesby. There's no argument there now is it David? He has shown what he could do given the minutes, he will get his chance to play again.
