Yeah. I think there’s a lack of clarity as to the function, or how the D-League is going to be utilized. … When it gets to the point where a guy needs to just play the game, then that’s maybe where you utilize that league. But the D-League is not connected necessarily to us, even though the players are ours, but the system they’re going to run, the things they’re going to do, the terminology they’re going to use, there’s really not much of a connection to us, and so if a guy goes down, I don’t know if he’s going to be better for it. - Mike Montgomery, 10/19/05.

“One negative is that you might lose the contact with a player that you’d have if you kept him on your team,'’ he said. “You’d lose the contact that a player would have with your veteran players and the coaches.”

A player might be sitting on the end of the bench during games, Higgins said, but “he’d be practicing with the best players in the world, as opposed to much younger players.'’ - Janny Hu, San Francisco Chronicle

I don't agree with this, because Monta Ellis is not going to play at all. He won't learn crap in practice. I do feel Taft and Diogu will play though. So that will be good.
