Hollins arrived in San Antonio reiterating that he has no intention of returning Randolph to the starting lineup anytime soon.
"I don't know that we're ever going to do that," Hollins said. "Zach can come in and score anytime. He's getting his double-doubles, so what else is there?"
Randolph missed 43 games after injuring his right knee on New Year's Day in Chicago. Since combing back and taking an off-the-bench role for the first time since his second NBA season a decade ago, Randolph is averaging 10.3 points and eight rebounds, well below his All-Star numbers last year.
Yet Hollins said Randolph is nowhere close to being fully back in shape, and he's not complaining with a 9-3 record since his big man returned.
NOTES: The Spurs swept the Grizzlies 4-0 this season. ... San Antonio's Matt Bonner, who led the NBA in 3-point shooting last season, was 1 of 6 from behind the arc. He has made just 10 of his last 29 attempts.
