The point is Gbinije doesnt have to be ready contribute or have to be better than those players, but he needs minutes every game.
I remember Mike Dunleavy, not getting any minutes as a rookie in his first game with the Warriors with his parents in the crowd. The whole time, I was thinking, this has to be the worst situation ever for Mike. Maybe he wasnt better than the other guys or ready, but he should have still got into the game. His whole rookie season, his confidence was shot.
I'm not comparing Dunleavy to Gbinije as players, but that whole situation killed Mike's confidence that year.
