Cedi is getting rookie treatment; that's all.. He's treating him like a guy who got drafted late in the first round or maybe even the second round, and he has him seeing a few moments of garbage time.
But I agree, there's little reason Cedi gets so little playing time, even when there's quite a few possessions in this series where the Cavs are up 10-15 points. Those are the times where you find a few minutes in the rotation to get Cedi some burn... Not just when the game is decided.
So many opportunities, but he doesn't want to do that for reasons that are not basketball related.
Cedi shouldn't be getting he rookie treatment. He isn't a smug rookie that thinks highly of himself and thinks he is better than everyone and needs a lesson in humility. Cedi has been a perfect teammate, a commendable professional, model to all Turkish brothers and rookies around the world that get no playing time. Where other players pout on the bench for not getting playing time despite not being very good, he cheers every damn second of every damn game. This isn't the fucking 90's-early 00's where players are punished for being rookies. Fucking reward your class A rookie with some playing time that he deserves and help your team while you are at it.
He is treating him like a scrub. Favouritism at it's finest if you ask me.
