Agreed on all the above.
I know that when you use the term "bottoming out" you're referring to the willful act of having a likely poor record by playing mostly young, raw players. I get it, and I agree, I wouldn't go to that extreme.
However, incentive or no incentive...what I'm saying is that they might not have as much agency in determining their destiny as we assume. They don't even have the player who's going to run their offense when they're next good on the roster yet, I don't think. There's a decent chance that player is ANOTHER 19 year old a year from now. They might be baaaaad next year, whether they want to be or not.
