Other context. Bates has had 4 fouls in 3 games. He played at least 25 min in each of those games, so you can't really say that foul trouble limited his minutes very much.
From an efficiency standpoint, he really only had one bad game, at 6.5 pp40. His pp40 has been double digits in every other game.
I expected a step back this year all along. In reality, we needed to have a step back if we were to probably build the program in a sustainable manner.
Things could have and should have gone better than this tough.
My two gripes on Gates this year are:
1. Trying to play too many guys and developing no coherent rotation or chemistry.
2. Not developing and implementing a coherent strategy for getting Pierce & Butler more minutes. Their minutes have been totally helter skelter and irrational.
