Why does Derek Fisher still get decent playing time?
Why does Kendrick Perkins still get big time minutes?
Does Sefolosha really contribute that much in the way of defense?
Let's be real - what does Nick Collison really bring to the table?
This team is loaded with young players who showed signs of growth but their growth was stunted by inconsistent playing time throughout the season. I feel like this team could really get a spark of energy from guys like Jeremy Lamb, Steven Adams, Perry Jones, etc but Brooks is too scared to go with them. He chooses instead to roll out the same old washed up players like Fisher and Butler and as a result, the Thunder have the same issues they've had for the past couple years. Reggie Jackson was basically forced into action by Westbrook's injury and as it turns out, he's a very important player for them.
Brooks needs to stop coaching scared. Roll the dice with some young guys and see what happens. Derek Fisher isn't gonna give you much in 2014.
