I am talking about the players who deserve starting minutes but don't get them not players who are really good bench players like Taj Gibson.

I think Eric Bledsoe and Norris Cole deserve more minutes and Cole>Chalmers.

[ban me pheggets]

Jamal Crawford, Jeremy Lamb (before he got sent down to the D-league) and MarSwag Brooks

lol why should Crawford get more minutes hes been a 6th man and I agree with Brooks forgot about him.

[TeoTheGreek13]

Dude, Taj Gibson is at least in the same category as Bledsoe. If Bledsoe deserves starting minutes, then so does Taj.

[Pusha Key]

Mario Chalmers needs more minutes, not less

[BayArea510]

Definitely MarShon Brooks... he gets NO PT at all.

Marshon Brooks. For his talent and scoring ability, he should be getting more than 10 minutes per game. Also, JaVale McGee should be getting more minutes. If he's gets the playing time, he's easily a top seven center in this league.

Andrew Bynum
DeMarcus Cousins
Greg Monroe
Roy Hibbert
Gortat (yes Gortat)
Noah
Valancuinas
Al Jefferson
Chandler

Ya but he isn't starting material hes a backup like Amir Johnson great backup but not a great starter.

Yeah, but what I'm saying myself is that if Taj ain't starting material, Bledsoe ain't either.

But you can't say for anyone that he ain't starting material. Everyone can be starting material, it depends on the strength of the team though. Both Bledsoe and Taj would be great starters for .500 teams (and below .500).

[Jan_Sobieski™]

Give me Chalmers. His tenacity and great play really can be better with more minutes.

Added in Al Horford but put strike throughs through the players who I think that McGee is better than if given the minutes. Half of the centers you mentioned are one dimensional. Chandler is a great defensive player but not necessairly a great offensive player. He'll get you 10-12 PPG on a high efficiency but I doubt he could score 20+. Same for Hibbert. Great defensive player but not a force on offense. Greg Monroe is a good offensive center, but he isn't that great of a defensive player. Jefferson is a good offesnive player but not the best defender either. Valanciunas? He hasn't proven ANYTHING in the league yet.

McGee is probably one of the better centers in the NBA on both sides of the ball on offense and on defense.

I'm not a big fan of per 36 minutes stats, but I'm just using this if he gets the minutes since he's a starting material center.
He averages around 20.2 PPG, 10.3 rebounds and 3.2 blocks on 58% shooting. Those numbers per 36 are better than any of the centers that I put strike throughs through.
Also, let's not forget that both Gortat and Hibbert are having bad years so far.

This is my list for top seven minutes if McGee were to get minutes:
1. Howard
2. Bynum
3. Gasol
4. Cousins
5. Noah
6. Horford
7. McGee

[MaverixFan]

Only Mavs fans would probably know what I'm talking about here but Brandan Wright needs way more minutes! Seems like everytime he's on the floor, good things happens. Wright will drop like 15 pts on a good percentage, block some shots, and just have a solid overall game and then Carlisle wont even put him in the next game. And Elton Brand is playing like s**t! Hopefully when Dirk returns our PF rotation will basically only be Dirk/Wright... no Brand!

It doesn't matter if someone is one dimensional MgHee doesn't even have a dimension lmfaoo. Every center I listed is better than him even the rookie Valancuinas and if you ever watched him play you would know. Maybe Gortat isn't better but still more than 7.

How can you trust mcgee? he is so erratic and has the worst basketball IQ in the league. he doesnt deserve more minutes.

Doesn't have a dimension? He's one of the most athletic guys in the league, is a quality scorer in the amount of shots he takes, and his shooting percentage. He's also a good rim protector. Also I said that if he were to get the minutes then he would be better than some of the centers you listed. Also I've watched Jonas. He's okay. But he's not better than McGee. Averaging 9/6 and 1 block

He has his own highlight reel of being stupid do I need to say more? He isn't better than Valancuinas who actually deserves more minutes he shoulda been mentioned. He isn't better than Al Jefferson or Chandler (not even close to Chandler). Roy Hibbert is way better than him. Monroe is way better. Gortat is the only arguable one. I dont know what your smoking but it is not weed it must be meth or something.

Bledsoe is a tad better than Tajmahal Gibson (thats what me and my friends call him because of how good he is defensively)

I don't agree to be honest with you.

Taj is a very good rebounder, all-around defender, hustler, energy guy (which is always important), solid post game and improving jump shot.
Maybe you're right (we need more sample/minutes from both to judge) but I think Taj is more valuable.
