A lot of people complaining about Ace not being used enough, but I don't mind it. Bringing him along somewhat slowly and playing to his current strengths is probably a positive. If he can do the basic stuff and play hard he can start expanding his game to be the bag god.

100%. I don't think he hustles for rebounds/cuts if he's getting the ball every possession and simply "goes to work". He should probably get a few more touches/plays run for him, but the fact that he's been willing to work for touches the way he has is the most encouraging thing I've seen from him.

It's a good point, I don't mind him not initiating offense or having the ball in his hands all the time. It just seems like he is ignored for possessions at a time. Still, not asking much of him and just letting him play is not a bad thing. Last night would have been nice of Brice or Collier found him a couple more times is all.
