Message: [QUOTE="UCFan1513, post: 4424669, member: 5603"] I do think Hurley is prone to playing favorites, specifically with players who are freak athletes and/or “make the game look easy” (his words for his favorite type of player). I think we saw early on with Whaley, and now with Springs, that he isn’t predisposed to love the slightly less athletic and less naturally gifted players. I think it’s a blind spot for him as a coach, and I see a lot of similarities between Whaley and Springs - both look really solid in the limited minutes they got, but in Spring’s case it hasn’t led to more PT. Springs is offering more than I bet Samson would at this point (injury aside), but he’s not the freak athlete that oozes potential With Whaley I remember this board scratching our heads whenever he’d have a quick hook or limited minutes. Luckily Hurley woke up on him. Hopefully he does the same here [/QUOTE]
