RC messed up big leaving mejri on the bench for way too long. He has had a subpar season.

I try to be "better late than never" about Rick's style. At least Mejri can be our starting center for the next two seasons for basically nothing in the glass half full view. It would have been a disaster if he was a free agent.

But yes, it does seem weird when Rick is overly hard on lesser experienced players. The jury is still out on Anderson though. I'm just not quite seeing what he will provide that will get him in the rotation. He has to do other things versus just play some athletic defense.

Simba spit the bit in Portland but RC still has to play him. He needs to realize that he doesn't have to make spectacular plays, just be steady and play hard.
