So we draft jarace at #8 but don’t play him hardly if at all. Last year Mathurin was in the starting lineup and he was #6. How does Rick do that to jarace and not Ben

    Bennedict Mathurin didn’t start last season. Our 31st pick Andrew Nembhard did.

    If Walker were currently better than Aaron and Obi he’d be playing. It’s really that simple.

    Edit - also bud you aren’t fooling anyone with your alt account 🤣

    Because apparently this team is too good to play rookies. But the Hornets and Blazers aren’t… and they beat us!

      A better example would be the Magic who are playing Anthony Black

    Every player develops differently. Jarace has more potential than Ben, but he might not be ready to see the floor yet.

    We are in win mode now. Last year we were in development mode.

    Keep in mind, Taylor Hendricks, the alternative selection to Jarace which was picked 9th, has played all of 2 minutes this season. G league regular.
