I was just talking about the last season.
When you cite Favors, Kanter and Williams as bench players, that was when Ty coached the team to the playoffs one season (36-30) and barely missed the next year (43-39).
Then DL took away the veterans, dumping Millsap, Big Al, Mo Williams, Foye. Ty was given a bench of Marvin Williams, a rookie Gobert (who often looked lost), Rush, Biedrins, JLIII, Jamaal Tinsley, Ian Clark, Jeremy Evans, etc. Richard Jefferson started, I believe. So let's say it was a team that had 5-6 decent players, no PG, and mostly garbage players. It was a 25-30 win team at best.
