Why is Griffin getting 0 minutes? We’re winning so I’m not gonna complain but considering his size and ability to score inside I don’t get why he’s not getting minutes?

    It’s either him or JJ

    It depends on the situation right now but if Bogi is gone next season then yeah he will get minutes

    I’m probably the biggest AJ fan I know, but he’s been downright bad for a while now. Would love to see him get some minutes though fr

    Why? Because this new coach is under immense pressure to win right now. He doesn’t have time to develop a rookie. Even though that might be the best thing for this team ROS. And Jalen adds more to what the team needs right now. Especially with John struggling.

    I think he needs to chill and regroup. He’s going a little downhill and he’s better than that. Maybe a little time off will help his game mentally

    Have 10 guys they want to play but only a 9 man rotation since trae and DJ stagger at PG. Have to sit either jalen or AJ and jalen has been better as of late. Beys addition also helps the spacing issue that they really needed aj for before bey got here. Don’t worry. He’ll for sure be in the main rotation next season. He’s one of the youngest players in the league. Plenty of room to grow.

    Bruh stfu — who’s he playing over?

  7. This guy can’t even legally buy his own beer, but is fighting for minutes in the rotation. His time will come. He’s a dog.

    I was thinking the same thing??? TF man yoooo Bey is straight sniping from 3!!!!!!

    He’s been in a pretty bad slump tbf, he’s a rookie man long career ahead don’t get to worked up about him not playing right now

    He hit the rookie wall. Most rookies hit it.

    But if it’s was Nate that was giving AJ 0 minutes y’all would kill him lol the hypocrisy of this sub

    Dude only so many people can play, you all ask this question but never give a solution. Who should he play over ?

    I think everyone is making it more complicated than it really is. All AJ was adding this year was scoring, particularly 3 point shooting. His defense still has a long way to go and we don’t really run offense through him so that was really his only path to seeing minutes. Bogi got healthy and is more of a proven shooter and we added Saddiq Bey who is currently shooting the lights out. Aj stopped hitting his shots, those two guys are making them more consistently and have been proven to do so for longer in this league so they are getting those minutes. I think that’s really it. Right now he’s just a shooter and we have two more guys who are better at that than him. We all love AJ but his defense is not good and his shot has not been falling of late, that’s not a player you want playing lots of minutes as you’re fighting to make the playoffs, he’ll get plenty of time to develop when Bogi walks.

    I kind of feel that he and coaching knows he has hit his rookie wall and it’s a combo of letting him rest and helping him learn. Also we’re in a positioning race where we can’t afford rookie mistakes.

    full believer in giving around half of hunter mins to AJ
