Let me start off by saying I think Nate played him perfectly this game. He was used as a spark plug in the first half. He was allowed to make mistakes. When he missed a few, Nate took him out and then put him back in a couple minutes later. In the second half, we were slumping to start, and Bayless was put in at the 5 minute mark. He played well so Nate stuck with him for the rest of the game and rode the hot hand.
So, now what? I think we'll still see Bayless in the spark plug role. I think his minutes will increase, and he'll become sort of a Travis Outlaw for us. They will probably then ease him into the starting role. Maybe he starts after the break, maybe he starts next season.
In any case, one of Blake/Miller has to either be demoted or traded so this guy can play more when Rudy comes back. There's no excuse for him to be playing 10 minutes a night anymore. Absolutely none.
