I agree that it is essential, but there have been some successes. Powell wasn't much until he came to the Mavs. I think you can go back to players like Aminu , Crowder and Kris Humphries as examples of young players that found success on the Mavs and have gone on to have good careers.
IMO, they have to have something to make them stand out within the team to get into RC's planning cycle. Melli's performance in OKC with his first opportunity as a Mav is such an example. He's going to see limited exposure initially, but his PT could grow quickly with continued success. Especially if Luka shows confidence in him.
