Why isnt Ben Gordon starting?

Question

i dont know much about the Bulls i just know Ben Gordon is a good shooter.

the Bulls aren't getting KG don't you know that my Lakers are getting KG?

Answer 1

Gordon is a good scorer but in the low 40%'s he's hardly a good shooter

Gordon should start but I guess the bulls want a spark off the bench as he does seem to play better off the bench than in his starts in the past

he can get aggressive right away off the bench and that's what the bulls need

Answer 2

Ben Gordon isnt starting because The Bulls need something off the bench. If Gordon were to start they would lose that added energy that Gordon brings to them off the bench. Besides in the games that Gordon have started his production is usually the same while the person who usually starts struggles coming off the bench.

Answer 3

It is because they want a spark off the bench. He isn't a good shooter? I'd say he's a pretty good shooter. He might not be the absolute best , but he is by far the best shooter the Bulls have. He just seems to do better off the bench. Some players are just like that.

Answer 4

Gordon is a good scorer but he doesnt know how to play defense, and the Bulls are actually doing better with benching him and him coming in as a 6th man, also its because Luol Deng and Andreas Nocioni are way better defenders and scorers and he isnt gonna take any starters position just yet because he needs to be a true point guard if hes gonna take Chris Duhon's spot. Plus if you look at the stats hes getting starters minutes hes averaging 30 minutes per game and 20 points per game....doesnt that look like a starter?? And also when he starts he tends to struggle alot.

Answer 5

Because BG likes coming off the bench better and so does most of his fans, I like him coming off the bench because he shokes everyone with his shooting and passing. Hopefully when he becomes more older and the bulls get kevin garnett and ben wallace he might start in the lineup as well.

Answer 6

He does bring instant offense when he comes into a game, and he's still getting his minutes and his touches, so what does it matter whether he's starting or not? Frank Ramsey, John Havlicek, Billy Cunningham, Bobby Jones, Kevin McHale, Bob McAdoo, Toni Kukoc, and Vinnie Johnson all could have started for any team except for the ones they played on, but they still made contributions and helped their teams win championships.

Answer 7

A GOOD PLAYER CAN COME OFF THE BENCH. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO STARTS THE GAME IT MATTERS WHO FINISHES THE GAME.

Answer 8

he plays better off the bench
