Message: [QUOTE="NJHoops, post: 2912914, member: 8779"] Minutes count more than the five names introduced at the start of the game. Smith perfectly fits the mold of a guy Hurley likes to bring off the bench, kind of like a Stan Robinson last year. At the same time, it’s good to have bench guys to push the starters, make them accountable and a little uncomfortable. There’s nothing worse than an ineffective player who knows there are no other options. The staff does not have blinders on with Vital. They know on what he needs to improve, and he’ll get that instruction. I’d also be careful conflating “still working on learning and fitting in to the system” with “selfish player who thinks it’s all about him.” Vital is the first, IMO. [/QUOTE]
