Everyone else is almost exhausted. Why can t the Clippers improve the playing time of the forward general?

In a previous NBA playoff game, the Los Angeles Clippers, who played at home, defeated the Denver Nuggets 111-105, chasing the total score of the series to 3-3. Next, both sides will enter a cruel tiebreaker. The winner will meet the Oklahoma City Thunder, which is ranked first in the Western Conference in the regular season, in the Western Conference semi-finals, and the loser will be eliminated.

In this game, the Clippers' substitute forward Derrick Jones Jr. also maintained a stable level. Jones Jr. played 17 minutes and 52 seconds in the game, made 3 of 8 shots and 2 of 6 shots from outside the three-point line, scored comprehensive data of 8 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks, and had 2 fouls, with a plus-minus value of +2. Jones Jr.'s performance on the offensive end was sloppy, but he also got some points at least, and did not have much negative impact on the team. The most important thing is that Jones Jr.'s performance on the defensive end is very eye-catching, his personal defense ability is quite good, his advantages in athletic ability are also visible to the naked eye, and his contribution on the defensive end is obvious to all. It was just because of the limitations of playing time that he could not produce more gorgeous data. From the actual situation, Jones Jr. has also demonstrated all his abilities and made considerable contributions to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Jones Jr. made a total of 77 appearances in 82 games, averaging 24.3 minutes per game, averaging 10.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.4 blocks, and 0.9 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 52.6%, a three-point shooting percentage of 35.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 70.3%. So far in the playoffs, Jones Jr. has averaged 18.8 minutes in the first six games, with averaging 6.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.5 steals and 1 block, and 0.3 turnovers and 0.5 fouls. He has a shooting percentage of 42.1%, a three-point shooting percentage of 31.3%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 50%.

In fact, Jones Jr. performed well in the playoffs, and he also showed some of his own characteristics on both offense and defense. Especially on the defensive end, his role is also very outstanding. It was just that his playing time was significantly reduced compared to the regular season, which also led to his poor performance on the court, and he did not show off his talents in all aspects. In fact, judging from the current situation, the playing time of several core players of the Clippers has been increasing. In this game, even the 36-year-old forward veteran Nicolas Batum played for more than 30 minutes. This arrangement has obviously caused many players to have early warning of their physical fitness. Among the players that can be used by the Clippers, Jones Jr.'s playing time is relatively limited, and his potential has not been fully realized. Why can't the Clippers improve his playing time?
