I agree Coker has to play at some point in the game. If you are going to point a finger at a guy who is useless, it is Evans. He cant shoot, he plays no D and does not care to play within the system.
A major problem is we cant have the same guys play 38-40 minutes night in and night out. To long of a season. Unfortunately, this team needs its starters to play flawless night in and night to beat most teams in the league. Our bench is not good enough to pick up the slack and help this team win should the starters falter. We will have a totally different tune over time when we are seeing absolute studs come off the bench and take over a game. Right now, we are limited and have to see guys like Evans and Boothe. That is why it is so important for the starters to play smart and do their best to stay out of foul trouble, stay within striking distance(less than double digits) or winning when the guys off bench come in. It is asking alot but that is what we are working with.
Coker playing the minutes he does is not hurting us right now. We do not lean on him to score and whatever offense he does give us is a bonus. Even if he is clobering people inside and getting fouls, he gets taken out and Burrell in. He is not given extended minutes so should he falter early the team has plenty of time to shake it off.
