vSo you think sitting on the bench is better for his development than playing?

To some extent, yeah. I think it might. Sometimes you have to take a step back from what you're doing to see what's necessary in order to improve. That may very well be what Devin needs.

So cutting Devin from 22 minutes to 10 is going to be the difference between the 8th and 4th seeds?

If all those minutes went to JT and both continued at their current +/- pace we could expect an upswing of +3.35 points per game for the Mavs if my math is right - that could very well be the difference between a 4th seed and an 8th seed.
