Looks like Mudiay did resurrect his career in NY. Believe some teams will be interested, whatever happens. Glad for him.
Best season in his short NBA career and regardless how some may feel, Fiz has to get some credit for the improvement...He has outplayed Frank and deserved the starting spot, but Smith is more talented than Mud for sure...We shall see
Absolutely Fizdale should get some credit for helping Mudiay. He called it. My concern is with the way he manages vets, who are out of favor. Kanter aside.
I think Fiz is in a tough spot...The idea is to develop the youth but at the same time find mins for the vets...coupled with trying to remain bottom 4 in the league for a legit chance at the #1 pick. Rebuilds are tough when you have vets on the team.
You're right, it is a balancing act. In interviews Fizdale gives the impression that he would rather not be bothered with anything but development. Not saying he's wrong, but its best not to put it out there IMO.
