Helped with what? He didn't get much time this year and what time he did get he mostly sucked in, so now we're now we're going to play what if? with the idea of him inexplicably getting significant time AND actually contributing in a chance to go up 3-1 in the second round of the playoffs? I mean, you see how ridiculous that sounds when you see it spelled out like that, right? The point was to get him meaningful minutes before the playoffs so he could have contributed. He needed minutes to find his rhythm.
