One of the bright spots in Wednesday night's loss to the Orlando Magic was
the play of guard Chucky Atkins, who came off the bench to score six
points
on 3-of-7 shooting in 13 first-half minutes.
However, Atkins didn't get off the bench in the second half and it remains
somewhat of a mystery what exactly his role with the team is.
After struggling with his shot in the first five games, Atkins saw his
minutes reduced to the point where he took a dreaded DNP (did not
play-coach's decision) in the game against Denver.
"I have no idea," Atkins said after Wednesday's game. "I have no idea what
my role is. One minute, I play. Last game, I didn't play. This game, I
come
out and play 13 minutes in the first half, none in the second half. I have
no idea. I'm just rolling with the ball. When you get traded to a team,
sometimes it can be tough."
