To me, 32 minutes says he isn't doing enough to earn more time, because the minutes are there if Brooks wants him to have them.
As an example, look at Darren Collison's minutes in Paul's stead.
Reggie himself admitted his defense has been sub-par. Not sure there is much more to add to that.

38 minutes a game would be 4th in the league. Westbrook never has averaged more than 35 min a game in any season.
32 min a game is a big jump for a guy that has never played more than 14 a game.
Collison is averaging 33.5 min a game sine Paul went down however regardless of unpleasant the option of playing Fischer at PG the Clippers dont even have a 3rd PG that can trump that extremely low bar.
