whichever order or spot u wanna put guys, marjon is 5th wing guy.
battling it out with nwora for mins. if any are available
Can we stop with this? It's nonsense. Bud doesn't play young guys who have no business being in a rotation. That's different.
DDV played as a rookie in Bud's first season. We had no rookies in the 19-20 campaign. Then we had Nwora (woof, 45th), Merrill (out of league, 60th), and then Mamu (58th). This Bud hates rookies and young guys is one of the most nonsensical narratives here. The only other rookie that he's really had throughout his head coaching tenure that was worth anything was John Collins and he was firmly part of Bud's rotation.
Here's the reality, rookies don't often play on contenders because contenders don't draft high. They get the scraps. We evolved as a franchise and put ourselves into a different echelon. It's time to acknowledge the 'why' instead of continually pushing false narratives.
