Anyways, the crux is this, the only two players that have shown a high level of consistency in the clutch are Davis and Gordon. Evans and Ryno are at the bottom.
Ultimately this argument is a projection of future behavior and no one can win that argument until it can be tested in the future.
Do I think his flexibility in clutch situations may change now that he trusts guys like Cole, Babbitt and Qpon? Maybe a bit. Say, a 10% increase in late game flexibility with his traditional closing five. Mostly on nights of extremes - where a starter has a very poor night and a bench guy has career night. But not enough that I would say he will maintain his current flexibility into the future with the starters back. No way.
