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
I want names but certain names don't count? lol (Rondo was a huge factor in the Lakers getting a chip last year).
Wright and Collison. He and Kidd also clashed before Rick loosened his grip and let one of the greatest PG to ever breath do his thing.
I don't put the blame on Carlisle alone as Donnie and Mark often give him a tough hand to play but we also shouldn't act like Rick is a sacred cow.
