Why Warriors fans won’t see much more Alen Smailagic in NBA this year

SAN FRANCISCO -- Get in your Chase Center cheers while you can, Warriors fans, because the latest fan favorite will not be making frequent appearances. The Warriors have decided, judiciously, that rookie forward/center Alen Smailagic, as intriguing a teenager as they've ever had, will be no more than a part-time player -- at least this season. "We're just trying to feel the game and find him minutes within the game, whatever that means," coach Steve Kerr said Tuesday night, after Smailagic provided a few bright moments in a 107-98 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.
