Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4769069, member: 3535"] IMO she absolutely has gotten the chance. I think excuses tend to be made by fans of player's weaknesses because they want to see Geno use a deeper bench etc. The fact is, every day in practice Amari has a chance to prove it. It makes no sense to reward player's that are outplaying her consistently in practice to then reward the less consistent player time that the other deserves. I see two issues. 1.) - Her injury with her back. Unfair to completely judge. 2.) Of her injury it sounds bad but if it wasn't or just came on late in year etc but if not that bad then it's been all on her because it's obvious she needs to develop her strength. It was clear that was still an enormous weakness, - so how much did she work on that? So, no matter how much time you give her on the court, if she hasn't improved a lot with her overall strength, it still shows she has an unacceptable weakness. Minutes won’t help working on your strength to the level she has shown. There are two myths sometimes passed about. 1.) You give a player more time then without a doubt they will perform. 2.) That tall player offensively and defensively will undoubtedly be more unstoppable on offense because they are tall and able to defend well on defense because they are tall. so just play them. All myths without context. . [/QUOTE]
