He's also spent his entire NBA career under Casey, right?
Not saying he's great but we've all seen what a huge difference a coach who holds players accountable can make. Casey took a .500 playoff team to 3 seasons of ~20 game wins. Maybe the tank was deliberate even though they were in the playoffs, but more likely he's just a bad coach.

Through the season’s first four games, Kris Murray has scored 95 or more points, grabbed 30-plus rebounds, had five or fewer turnovers, shot 60% from the field and 100% from the free throw line. Per OptaSTATS, no other Division I player in the past 25 years has accomplished that feat over the course of any four-game span.
Tough thing to balance. On one hand, Davion is far and away the best defender on a team that has none. Especially his defense in crunch time has absolutely been a huge factor to a lot of our wins.
But on the other, he's clearly the 4th best guard on the team and I just don't see any path for him to start next to Fox down the line with Huerter here now. I just don't see where his minutes role is any bigger than like 21-22 MPG. And Monk has far exceeded expectations as a playmaker and has proven he can run the 2nd unit just fine. And if we're just going down the line of "potential" trade assets, Davion (Or Barnes before his recent surge) makes the most sense as a superfluous asset in a position we're stacked at to improve the rest of the team.

That's tough. Bey should have the better career but Davion brings something to this team that no other player on the roster can. Could potentially be a positive thing for the future but it could possibly hurt the team this year. I don't think we are on this 7 game streak if Bey was playing instead of Davion. Also the possibility that we don't start 0-4 if we have Bey as well.
