Sato’s minutes in the Raptors series

In the Toronto Raptors series, Sato scored a total of 7 points. He averaged 10.2 minutes and 1.2 points per game.

Breaking  it down:

Game 1 Wizards Lost: 18 minutes, 2 points

Game 2 Wizards Lost: 4 minutes, 0 points

Game 3 Wizards Win: 6 minutes, 0 points

Game 4 Wizards Win: 6 minutes, 0 points

Game 5 Wizards Lost: 15 minutes, 3 points

Game 6 Wizards Lost: 12 minutes, 2 points

Satoranksy’s minutes did not have a bearing on the Wizards first-round exit.

However, the concern appears to be whether he deserved more minutes in Games 2, 3 and 4. Again, that’s a judgment call.

What happens if Sato isn’t Wall’s primary backup, and he plays a different position altogether?
