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.
So let me ask you this: do you at least recognise the problem with having such a horrible reputation with rookies (and their agents). Regardless of whether Pokusevski will turn into a useful NBA player or not, when that agent has a talent of Giannis-like proportions, with insufficient in-game evaluation material, and he goes to workout for Donnie and Presti: who will get the maximum effort workout and who will get the BS. Imho that's a big reason why the same teams draft well or shitty. Are their scouts just better or do they also have it easier, because they get perfect information on the majority of young talent.
