Be real, wtf is getting developed at the spots that they’re usually drafting from? Their R1 guys since ‘20 were picked at 22-26-21-No Pick-28. Hyland ain’t shyt and ran himself outta town. Braun is the only pick the FO has made that’s panning out.

what we're gonna see now with the 2nd apron is that teams are gonna have to be smarter about those selections. The 2nd apron kills the buyout market, kills anything above a vet minimum and the day someone decides they wanna deal their max guy, now can't aggregate. Inevitably, those late firsts/2nds/UDFAs are gonna have to get some opportunities anyway because that might be the only talent you add. Teams are gonna get serious actually seeing what those guys can offer, and if they're upperclassman, then they should be able to pick things up sooner. The idea that drafting someone 30th overall is wasting Jokic's prime is comedy. Boston can get Pritchard to back up Jrue and hit half court shots in the finals yet Denver couldn't get anything outta Nnaji in a series where they need all the size they could muster up. Look at Boston's bench. Some of their youngins are gonna have to play out of necessity. Mazzulla's probably more open to the concept of needing them at times more than Malone is.

Kind of hard to do that when the coach obviously doesn’t have any interest in playing them hence part of the issue

If he sees them in practice everyday and doesn't think they can play then oh well

Then that kind of speaks to how crummy he and his coaching staff is when it comes to player development doesn't it?

A lot of those coaches either don't know how nor care to develop a players that aren't tailor made and with this new CBA and cap, they're not going to have any other choice but to figure it out or their replacement will.
