"We've got guys that have great opportunities with playing time. We've got guys, and JaVale's an example, he maybe is not a starter right now," Saunders said. "When he gets matched up against the better guys, he's either in foul trouble or getting killed. But when he matches up against second-tier guys, he can play. But we're in a situation, where those guys have to produce."

When asked if he would have to make some more adjustments to his starting lineup, Saunders said, "Either that, or there's going to be a lot shorter leash. It's not fair to the guys that really do care, that are putting in the time, off the court, to prepare for games. It's not fair to those guys."
