Bass just isn’t one of SVG’s “guys.” Howard makes lapses all over the place on both sides of the court and plays all the time. No, I am not comparing Bass to Howard…for a number of obvious reasons. Bass does have the same get-to-the-hoop mentality though to go along with a nice 15-17 footer. There are plenty of players who are relegated to SVG’s bench for whatever reason is made up by the team and coach. Gortat should see more playing time. He looked better than Howard against the Celtics during the playoffs. There is a reason the Mavericks pursued Gortat. He is good. Bass was essentially an olive branch in that deal. Orlando matched and stole. They did the same thing with Redick this year. Redick is another player who deserves more minutes. SVG’s “system” is not the reason that players ride his bench. It is just who he likes to play no matter who else is available. If Orlando keeps matching huge offer sheets to keep players on their bench they will reach a serious impasse. They have more depth than anyone talks about and it is time that SVG finally acknowledges that or they will continue to pay for it in the playoffs.
