Rivers had three possessions of meaningful minutes in this game. If we're going to judge him off of that sample size and verify why he's not playing, that seems a little ridiculous, when Hawkins can be judged by double digit minutes and fifteen times the possessions each game in the last few.

Plus the biggest reason people want Rivers to get some PT is for his defense, not his offense. And I think Ohio State was in transition for every possession he was in, so we didn't see much. I know he got swatted twice today and people will say that's why he shouldn't play. I don't care if the only time he touches the ball is by rebounding it. He adds length and experience on defense. That's what we need.

Yes, that would be ideal.
