The amount of negativity toward Rechsteiner on this board is crazy
He is essentially a freshman in playing experience. Hammond has a bright future but is not outstanding yet and there are no comments about how much Young is hurting us. Today, Rechsteiner was -2 in 29 minutes, Hammond was -1 in 26 minutes and Young was -16 in 15 minutes. Considering Young’s minutes overlapped Rechsteiner’s and Hammond’s, there is a good chance they would have both been on the plus side if Young was just a little below average today. Rechsteiner has given us solid minutes and I still think he has a bright future ahead of him.

He had 4 TOs and shot 33%, and his effort on D was tough to watch at times
