Coming into the season we had:
Skyy - 1
Epps - 1/2
Harris - Defensive energy guy at 1/2
TSJ - 2
Melendez - 2/3 (projected to be the next Kris Murray)
Goode - 3/4
Rodgers - 3/4
That doesn't leave a lot of room for a guy hungry for minutes. How can you account for the following:
Skyy quitting mid season
Epps having to move to the 1 to cover
Harris getting extended minutes because Epps is now our 1
Goode getting hurt for 80% of the season
Melendez falling inexplicably short of expectations, possibly due to a shoulder injury
In hindsight, Podz could have been the man that we were missing, but you can't project all that happened to this team when you need to choose between a former top 10 PG and a guy that was a major liability in practice (according to insiders). Maybe Brad said, Podz, we want you to stay at a reduced role, and he decided to go elsewhere.
A whole lot of speculation and revisionist history from a whole lot of people who know little to nothing. I was bummed Podz left, I thought he could be a guy. Glad he went out and made it himself.
Please stop. We don't need to continue to discuss it. I'd rather talk about the differences between low-fat cottage cheese vs whole milk cottage cheese than listen to idiots continue to look in the past and criticize when we all would have taken Skyy at the time.
