RC has clearly played rookies, there should be zero debate on that. But there is a long history of players across the board (though young ones especially) that for whatever reason do not mesh with RC. And we have seen some of those players really blossom outside of the confines of RC's personality (and we have seen some really suck too).
Again, I think RC is a good coach, I just do not believe he is the right coach for this set of players and situation.
NOTE: Just my current take that I reserve the right to change in a few months and to be dead wrong on.
Rondo doesn’t count. Odom was on drugs. Anderson and Smith Jr were busts and he probably still got the best out of them. Roby was always going to be a late bloomer. Obviously Luka and Brunson are huge successes and i guess he gets some credit for their success. Several cases of guys reviving their careers here before they were out of the league(Delonte, Felton, Mayo) off the top of my head.
Edit: Derek Fisher but he was already washed up
