I could be wrong, but I'm a firm believer that AM would have loved to have rested Scooch more if Crosby had played better. It's not about earning a starter's position over Scoochie. That wasn't going to happen. But when given the opportunity to play, outside of just a couple games, we saw the same thing in every single game. Plus, you develop way more in practice than in games. Being "the guy" now isn't going to suddenly change his high dribble, or his propensity to drive into traffic with no plan.
