1. 1. He’s been great which is why he is playing so much.

   2. Nick Nurse just being Nick Nurse. Scottie Barnes on that list too lol

2. Delete this Jimmy Butler isn’t on here

3. Right next to legendary Scottie Barnes 🤤

4. He’s good and fitness/conditioning doesn’t seem to be an issue. Let him play

5. Yo shoutout Kirk hinrich

6. Honestly this just shows how much of a shift happened the 2010s for player minutes

   I wonder if it was tied to the 3 becoming more important? Defense takes way more energy when you’re running around the entire perimeter

7. Didn’t he play 40+ minutes opening night? It’s not just nurse that trusts him, all the players do too

8. Nurse is giving him big run and big growth opportunities. I like it tbh

9. That’s a pretty good list to be on

10. all ballers too

11. I know it says since 2000 but it’s crazy to imagine that Wilt came in as a rookie and immediately got thrown in for 46 minutes a game

12. I would have never guessed battier
