The guy would not even make most playoff team rotation.

Maybe they feel like he has some sort of maturity issues, maybe they feel like if they reward him with more minutes then he won't be able to bring that energy the whole time, maybe he isn't a gym rat like Brandon Knight, so they don't trust him with big minutes because Drummond may stop trying to work and at getting better, which may ultimately stunt his growth. They all could be valid reasons as to why they are so "cautious" with his minutes; and as an organization and coaching staff they would know what those reasons are. Unfortunately, all we can do as fans is wonder in speculation and try to support our beloved team in the process.  I agree, although it is a very true statement it does leave negative implications.

My concern is for the future: when Drummond and Monroe ARE playing 30 minutes a game each, do we have a coach that can manage victories and make good decisions... or do we need a true point guard that can actually run the team and make decisions when it counts.  I read somewhere that right now our pgs Knight and Stuckey, while shooting the worst percentages on the team - shoot the ball 20 times a game, and Monroe/Drummond shoot 18 times a game - with the best shooting percentages on the team. So we either need a point guard that can change that, or a coach that can change that.
