On a side note- On the second to last game of the season, they decide to feed him, and he got a career high 47 points. He definitely has potential...it'd be just like the Blazers to waste it away though.
You're right, if he isn't getting any playing time then he isn't going to play at his full potential. Looks like Portland got to see a taste of what he can do from that one game. It will be interesting to see if the go back to him this upcoming year.
Although for the Jazz, if you aren't one of the rotating 8 for Jerry Sloan then you won't see nothing but the bench. Which pisses me off, because we have guy's that can play. :dunno:
