As someone who complained about Lathon's and Boum's minutes in the past I want to make sure that my position this season is understood. I never suggested that either guy ride the pine. With four guys at the beginning of the season, and five now that Archie is available, playing three positions it is possible to play everyone between 20 to 30 mpg on average. That was my suggestion: decrease the three starters' minutes and allow Hawkins to play more minutes. This would allow a guy that I thought was playing much better than some of the starters to get more minutes, while keeping everyone fresh.
As far as Lathon's game goes, I don't know if his poor play so far this season is a sign of things to come, or just merely a sophomore slump. I do know that he has shown potential, and that I wasn't ready to give up on him. I'm sad to see him leave, but best of luck to him.
