Man, you guys are making my head spin. There really should be no debate or question about JV's offense. It is developing nicely, already bordering on elite, and will only get better with more reps.
The only reason JV isn't on the floor in crunch time is because he is often the last line of defense and Casey can't risk any mistakes. Demar blows his defensive coverages all the time, but he's got Amir, 2Pat, JJ or even Hayes to back him up - sometimes. When JV blows a defensive assignment, it's more likely to result in a basket.
Casey is playing the percentages and is willing to sacrifice less offense for more defense (which often doesn't work when he plugs in Hayes, btw). It's the same rationale as to why JV gets pulled early in the first quarter when he plays a Gasol brother. lol.
