Denver Nuggets head coach George Karl did not think twice of playing rookie Gary Forbes ahead of veteran J.R. Smith in his rotation. The 6-7 Forbes is playing impressively so far for the Nuggets while Smith has his usual off-court problems and below-par performances. Karl says he expects more professionalism and better play from Smith, who saw action for only more than a minute in his last two games, according to The Denver Post. Smith is currently averaging a career-low of 8.6 ppg and 3.2 rpg in ten outings for the Nuggets while Forbes is submitting norms of 8.5 ppg and 3.0 rpg in eight games as a pro.
“I think J.R. knows exactly where we're at. I think right now, it's J.R. and me, and I think J.R. should understand what's going on. I've got a kid playing better than he is playing. And I don't have minutes to share.”
