Bagley or Ayton

Smith jr played 30mpg. Not sure it's realistic to have expected more minutes. It's not always the right thing to run a rookie to death their first year.

I can assure you this year's pick will get minutes. Rick's job is on the line, for sure. You can't just keep losing forever with no repercussions. The only way you get through losing as a coach in this league is by developing young players into something more.

Cuban is on record as saying that Rick is our Jerry Sloan. Not to say that he couldn't get fired if we miss the playoffs for the next 5 years, but I think Rick is safe as long as he wants to be here.
