the only thing they can salvage is bogs at least has to be guarded during spurts in the playoffs.
and also his contract for next year should be a valuable trade chip
but other than that neither should be getting minutes over duece or precious.
i guess but his defense might make him unplayable. everyone focuses on burks more but bogs minutes kill us. he has the worst plus minus of anyone who played for us this year. he's a -90.
I mean you can maybe stagger his minutes and play him against a guy that isn't a good offensive player but you are correct teams are going to seek him out in the playoffs and put him in screens and make him guard.
You can put him with some OG/Mitch lineups and that should help him defensively and if you have him and OG sitting in the corners on offense that should give brunson a lot of room to operate...but we are only talking about maybe 10-12 minutes a game in the playoffs.
If Randle is healthy with mitch and ihart playing center...my guess thibs is going to trust precious more...but it might be matchup related. vs a team like the bucks more precious...vs a team that goes small at the 4 like and maybe you need more spacing maybe bogs vs the pacers will be more important.
