Van Gundy old school ways are a problem, but the biggest problem is the man that hired him and potentially the owner of the club. The point of this season and last season should have been player development above everything else. Griffin whether through direction from ownership or his own misunderstanding has put this team on the path to making the same mistakes the franchise has made the last 15 years.
It legitimately takes about 4 to 6 years of drafting talent and player development to be able to compete. We keep trying to do it 1 or 2 years and fall short. Yes I know 4 to 6 years isn't appealing but then we end up losing anyways just not enough to consistently draft in the top 5. Redick, Adams, and Bledsoe are taking mins away from players that need development. That is ultimately a problem from the top down.
