As a part-time viewer at best it seems everytime I do watch that he's pretty fucking worthless. Is he any good and I just catch him on off nights? They need to dump him? What's the deal ?

He's good enough in spurts (heyyyyyyyyy) that us part-timers think maybe he'll come around, but the fact of the matter is he'll always be more Tony Snell than Toni Kukoc.

two Bull games I watched recently,Hoiberg has him out there in the 4th Q. I don't get it and neither does Will Perdue and Kendall Gill. I like Robin Lopez.

That seems like some crazy NBA trend. Unless a guy is an elite center everyone is going small in crunch time. Cleveland did last night. Knicks do it with Noah. GS does it all the time. I don't know why but it seems like everyone pulls their Center down the stretch unless he is one of the top guys.

I don't know why he would play Mirotic. Low I.Q. and a weak defender. Guess he wants the all important "floor spacing" so he plays a guy that is just plain spacey.

I'd be all for Lopez playing more in the 4th quarter, especially when they have the lead.

As for Niko, man is he frustrating to watch. If he misses he first couple of shots then forget about him having a good offensive game. He does rebound though, I'll give him that. However, his defense just kills you at times when you're trying to protect a lead. And it's doubly dangerous when both he and McDermott are on the court together.

1. Mentally soft, confidence issues
2. He's never taken as many 3s as he has this year (and he's been taking stupid deep Steph Curry 3s) so he hardly goes to the basket anymore
3. Defense is terrible
4. In 3 seasons, he hasn't improved in any area of his game
