Yes, I'm with the last few posts. No need to rush Chandler into the starting line-up. If he outplays Q he will get plenty of time. But Q's last good year was under Mike and Mike probably has built some trust in him. Plus Q is one of maybe 4 guys on the roster who when he is not shooting well is at least giving you effort elsewhere. This is a good example for others and those guys that do this should get plenty of time. Even if they stink and are named malik Rose. But I think you guys can relax. It's going to occur, Chandler will seize plenty of minutes in the frontcourt and it will be at the 3 and the 4. There are minutes to go around. No need to rush into the SL.

I would start Wilson at the three at the beginning of the year and put the best team out there

I sincerely hope you're dropping us some hints.

And if you were coach that is what you would do. That's fine. Maybe that's what Mike does. Season hasn't started yet. Either way chandler is averaging more minutes than Q(26-18) and if his play continues to shine he will get the majority of the minutes. His development is happening before our eyes, so it's tough to say if Mike is doing anything wrong at this point? We have a long way to go before we compete. Have patience, we all know it is just a matter of time before Chandler is not only starting but is proving to be one of our better players. the minutes will come.

there is a delicate balance in terms of starters/bench.

chandler is a guy that is going with the flow and making the most of his opportunity. great attitude and trait for a guy coming off the bench. on the other hand, q is a vet and expects to start. can he make the mental adjustment to coming off the bench? will he be opportunistic like chandler is now or will he force the issue to get his? i see the same question being asked of crawford + marbury. but surprisingly, marbury is thriving and is showing why his talent is superior.

Agreed. Coach knows best, because he's around these guys everyday.
