I think the reason most of our picks busted is because most of them were in the 20s.
If you want to be upset about our first rounder not playing a lot of minutes last year, blame the FO, not Rick. We got a young, raw inexperienced player with limited development opportunities (Covid) and a situation where every win counted (to avoid play-in). He got some minutes during the Covid games and was not ready. Bane or Bey would have gotten plenty of minutes last year. He didn't get much playing time early this year with Kidd until the Covid games where he showed he was more ready.
