I thought Jawad Williams hit the nail on the head in his comments about the lack of development of the bench. I saw a lot of analogies with my line of work. I'm in the book publishing business. I own my own company but used to head up a large publishing company. People were always amazed that only 40% of our books made a profit. 60% lost money. Roughly the same stat as the movie industry. People said, "Why don't you just publish books by the name-brand authors?" Here's the problem. The name-brand authors eventually die. You have to find and nourish the young new authors who will take their place. In basketball, or any sport, you have to do the same thing. Our new authors would fail and lose money. But you still had to develop them. Hubert's bench players are going to fail. Make bad shots. Make dumb decisions. But that is what is required for them to learn the game, develop their confidence and learn to be a starter. As Jawad pointed out, you can't develop if you play less than five minutes a game and are in constant fear of getting jerked.
