[QUOTE="GameOfThrows, post: 1175974, member: 566478"] Completely agree. Maverick may never become all BIG but he has potential. I just don't thin he realizes yet. Like Dakich pointed out, when Maverick doesn't think good things happen. With more playing time, he will eventually be thinking less and just playing. Could turn out pretty good. And like you said, it's not like we have anyone else to play the 5. Heck, if he fouls out, he fouls out, and we continue to play small ball... For us to have a chance, Maverick has to play 25 minutes/game AND, our perimeter players have to drive to the bucket and not settle for jumper so often. Since Groce is so hand-cuffed right now, he needs to insist on the guards driving and living with the results. The more the guards penetrate, the better they will become at it. and the more Maverick plays, the better he will become. All plusses, plus Groce sets a precedent - no settling for jump shots!
