Don’t think playing big minutes in game helps your development at all. New Players need to get a sense of game speed so it helps to get some exposure, but rawer players mostly need to drill like crazy certain moves and skills that they can use/get away with in the nba so they can become second nature. And then they have to work on decision making at nba speed/spacing, which is totally unpredictable and often takes many years to get down. For the first phase, practice games, d league, and full speed drills probably helps get those fundamentals tuned up more than full games. It’s different for every prospect but very few folks still in deep development seem to benefit from getting 35 minutes on a bad team over 15 on a good one, just makes them flail around and do things outside of what will be their future, sustainable nba role/game. Big reason why players who have modest roles to step into in years 2-4 seem to have the best track record of development.

I'm not looking at him being out of the rotation this year as an expected outcome due to his youth. It's a disappointment, in my eyes.

While I think Zhaire has no natural position. He’s small to be a wing while he has below average skillset for a PG.
"He effectively didn't really have a year last year, one," Brown said at practice Wednesday. "Two, you're taking a college three/four man and trying to make him a two. Three, just the environment of NBA basketball and words and all that, is drowning, it really is drowning. And so you add in all that into a melting pot, and he's still young, I think it shouldn't be out of the ordinary where he comes in and he still plays like he has a lot more to learn and grow, because he does. I think that's fair."
"I think Zhaire is just a byproduct of the environment, his route to this year," Brown said. "Quite possibly, things could have been expedited if he had already had a full year without the injury. But going too fast too soon, he's still young and he's still ours, [that's] where my head is at."

He has to earn rotation minutes, and Thybulle, is probably ahead of him, and our bench is a couple guards deeper than it was last year.
I won’t be disappointed if he doesn’t make the rotation this year.

They're all taking the night off? Where did you read that?Sixerscan wrote:Sounded like he was more involved last night.
Feel like he would look better playing with the top guys as opposed to the end of the bench. But if he’s not earning those minutes yet not a lot you can do.
It’s a long season I’m sure he’ll get an opportunity. Heck maybe tomorrow with Simmons Ennis and Horford taking the night off.
