[QUOTE="aaeismacgychel, post: 2022477, member: 748794"] If Nico can play game in and game out like that he should be playing. That said, it does greatly help to play against a team that doesn't know how to defend. When Nico has played against stronger more physical defenders, he has struggled this season. That said, it is small sample size. I do like what Nico brings, but the whole bench Ty for Nico contingent I feel is the incorrect conclusion and feels a lot more like Bears start the 3rd string QB syndrome. And in this case it's blaming Ty for our PG and inbounding woes late in games when in reality he hasn't even been on the court. I'm all for playing our best 5 players. If that's Moretti, great. But for those thinking Ty hasn't been one of those 5 best players this year, I'm not sure what they've been watching. As I've said, our late game issues are a personnel problem, not a Ty problem. We won this one, yes, but if people truly think we're going to be a better team with Ty on the bench, I think they're kidding themselves and creating a false narrative. [/QUOTE]
