I think we should take whatever hit that comes with developing Butler....but if we're going to try our hardest to win, Forrest is not that guy either. Oni has a way better case than Forrest. Paschall is also available to play now that Gay is back. I don't agree, but I can see why Butler doesn't get minutes on this type of team. To me, the bigger sin is playing Forrest instead.
Seems like Quin and the Jazz really like Forrest and believe in him. I sensed some BS about the way Locke talked about Butler and Forrest during the preseason. There must be a ton of love for Forrest internally because it sounded like Locke was talking about TB's second jump. I personally don't see it. I think Hughes/Fitts actually have more potential to be a real rotation player down the line. Forrest is good for who he is, which is a 11-15 type player...but his shot is too limiting for him to be a real rotation player.
