Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 4290353, member: 34"] Akok never got the chance to get his game legs back. Sure he was rusty at times but he was still an effective shooter and was running the court. The lateral quickness and awareness on D were going to he a work on progress. Hurley has never been a one step back to get two steps forward coach when it comes to managing minutes and getting players time on the court. That is why many of us wanted more burn for some of these players in the December cupcake games. Out of all the transfers Gaffney was the only who got enough game time minutes where you could honestly assess him being over his head. You glue Akok to the bench and them put him in for a minute before pulling him because he is rusty is short sighted. This isn't MLB where they go to assignment in the minors to get back their timing. Live games acclimation has to happen. [/QUOTE]
