So why not Jeff Withey?

I was surprised that Lyles was in the starting unit. I thought Withey or Tibor would get the start, as to not change the bench rotations and keep the size. That stated Favors had an A+ game so it seemed right to start him at center.
 
Wny Not Withey?

I've been wondering why Quinn hasn't been playing Withey -- thought maybe he was injured. But after tonight, I think he definitely is a better option than Booker or Lyles. Plays solid D and is good fundamentally, like Harpring said, he seems to be in the right place at the right time. He looked good to me in preseason too.
 
It looks like Whithey is doing a good job as a backup center. He looks very robust, blocks shots, getting rebounds, scoring, putback dunks, runs the sets like a poor man's Jarron Collins. However, I think Snyder should bench him again. Remember, Whithey looked just as solid in preseason and Snyder chose to not play him after that.

Why? Because Whithey is too good.

Stay with me here. Snyder likes playing guys like Booker and Pleiss as backups. Booker took shooting lessons from my grandma in the offseason. Pleiss looks like a wet noodle flopping around, hoping one of his appendages happens to touch the ball. He even enjoys starting Lyles against Chris Bosh and Vucevic. Come on, those of us who watched Lyles **** up on defense 4 times in a row realized that Snyder isn't putting the best players on the floor. He wants to strengthen Hayward and Favors by making them play with some empty soda cans. Only then will they become what Snyder wants them to be: true megastars.

So when I went to the home opener they announced each member of the team. And the mentioned that Exun AND Whithey are injured, so maybe that's why he isn't dressing for games?
 
Give Booker's minutes to Withey, send Lyles to the D-League, cut Tibor Pleiss, resign Bryce Cotton.

Who says no?
