This is an excellent assessment of the past season. Griff and Langdon need to be thinking critically about whether While Green should be the coach going forward. I think he's hit his ceiling; your point that he has wasted Borrego is an indication that he's not collaborative enough. And Ingram should be on the first trade out of town...

Very good analysis. Willie Green is a starter coach, like his mentor Monty Williams is. They are excellent at bringing stability and accountability to poor teams. But are very limited beyond that. Once they reach their ceiling the players start to see it themselves then it winds up becoming stagnant. Green and his favorite player ( Ingram) are playing in the past . Ingram wants to be Kobe , that's his game. Green wants to play all the hard working overachiever types. Because that's what he was. He should have been playing Hawkins 15 mins a half at least . He wants them to be like him and Monty, and his go to guys Naji and Jose . I believe he retarded Hawkins growth just like he did trey. Talent doesn't get better sitting and watching.
