In my opinion it doesnt matter if pearl plays good or not everyone will rip him for being the coaches son.. its that way with every player who ever played for their dad ppl think its unfair for the playing time that they get no matter how little it is.. pearl is ok on defense not much of a threat on offense but he gets some big rebounds.. rebounding the basketball is one of the most fundemental things in basketball and without it you can not win games. this is why in my opinion he makes his minutes worth while sometimes..
