Pape with another quality game last night 25 / 14rebs with 3 steals. 11-14 from the line.
Now averaging 28 points asnd 13 boards (over three games)
My opinion on why Pape is down and Hoffa is starting:
Hoffa is a developed player in terms of his games skills (shooting, passing, rebounding, man defense) but he is majorly lacking in confidence, and the ability to play at the speed of the NBA game. His defensive rotations are the worst part right now, and our perimeter D is pathetic, only magnifying that problem.
Pape is very athelitic and has a good nose for the ball, but is raw offensively and that is something that can be worked on in the D-League. Hoffa can't learn to play at the speed of the NBA but playing elsewhere.
I think Hoffa won't have much more time to figure it out before they swap the two of them. Pape showing the ability score and shoot foul shots is a major improvement.
Hoffa might be able to at least get his confidence back with some big scores and wins in the D-League, the question is will it help when he is back in the league. The Toronto fans have basically made him the whipping boy for Rob Babcock and he gets booed at home games. Its not pretty.
