Please, can Tatum get benched the rest of the season

Tatum is sooooooooo bad. Woolridge should play in his spot. Richardson is almost as bad.

Enough to see he doesn't need to be playing any minutes.

I'm not saying he's great, but he's a D-1, scholarship athlete playing on ESPN.

What's on your resume that makes think you know more than him or the coaches?

I feel like you have based your entire opinion on one game. I mean, I'd like to see Woolridge shoot like that all of the time, but 5-6 from three is extremely rare, even for a star three point shooter. I like Woolridge, but I don't know if he can live up to that kind of expectation.

Tatum was really, really bad tonight, though. After he drove to the basket and got blocked horribly the first time (or after other people did), he should have realized that driving and actually trying to get a layup was a lost cause, whether it would be Kidd-Gilchrist or Anthony Davis or Terrence Jones blocking him. His driving to pass was fine, but the layup attempts weren't. Kidd-Gilchrist completely shut him down when Golden wasn't in the game, but even without Kidd-Gilchrist, I don't think Tatum would have played very well.
