Unless you are Luka good...you arent getting any burn under RC for 2 or 3 years?
I get it...our rooks arent ready yet? But Sadiq Bey and Desmond Bane.
What I guess Im asking is could there be something else going on other than just..."the rooks arent ready"?
Or does the rooks not playing seem magnified this season due to the abbreviated season not allowing much time for teams to practice which means less time for rooks to develop?
I think reasons might be much more different. Mavs have all positions filled with vets. It is nice to see Bane and Bey have success on their teams, but would they really get any serious minutes behind JRich, THJ and DFS? Perhaps Bey at SF would, but I am affraid Bane wouldn't. I just think Mavs intentionally went for more long term prospects with perhaps higher ceiling, because they just didn't need the rookies this season.
