Yet Green got minutes, had two terrible offensive possessions and got yanked and Bey got the DNP. How's the rotation ahead of Bey playing? It's also going to be difficult to tell which players give you the best chance to win if you don't play them. We can chicken and egg this conversation forever, I guess.
I don’t disagree that they failed, and I don’t disagree that it was a sad, disgraceful failure.
I don’t disagree that the door is cracked open MOST for Bey out of all the rookies.
What I can’t endorse is this notion that because the vets fall flat on any given night, that must mean the rookies “couldn’t have been worse.” That’s a false equivalency.
Regardless of how pointless we think this season has been, or just specifically a game for which Luka/KP are unavailable, the team, coach and organization are trying to win as many games as possible.
