I think the guy deserves minutes. He hurts us badly on the offensive side of the ball but his defense is pretty good and he outhustles everyone on the floor no matter who we are playing. He probably deserves 8 minutes or so a game just for the energy he brings to the table in my opinion.
This couldn't be further from the truth.Look you knuckleheads - Pearl's function is much like an enforcer in hockey - his sole purpose is to go in and make somebody pay for getting the ball near the goal and to fight for rebounds. He does great for the job that he is assigned. If he makes a basket, assist, free throw, steal, save, pick, roll, or just doesn't cause affirmative harm on the offensive side, that's a bonus.
