You never know what is going to happen. Last year Max wasn't getting a ton of minutes during the year (14mpg and missed 15 games - DNPCD). In the playoffs, Dice wasn't shooting it that well, Webber was erratic at best. Max stepped in and made an impact late in the season. He was a difference maker at times in the playoffs. Amir has roughly 40 games to show that he brings a shot-blocking/rebounding presence that we need. And while it's usually difficult to trust Flip with young guys, it's the 1st step (getting him to give them a chance at all) that is the toughest part. We appear to be on our way to that.
