J. J Redick says not being in the rotation in his early years was VERY beneficial for him.

Thanks for that sharing that wonderful story. I have one as well...My daughter was hit by a speeding car when she was five and she amazingly walked away from it with only a few scratches. So I guess that means it's totally acceptable to allow your kids to play on streets with speeding cars since my one example proves it's okay.

Pretty cool article.


Also, I think this ties in with an earlier thread of mine, regarding how beneficial it could be to have our players fighting each other for several seasons for rotation minutes.

I think Kanter coming off the bench for his 2nd career start getting a 20/20, and Favors going for 23/15 in 3 quarters agrees with this as well.


People complained all season how Kanter was not getting enough minutes to develop, yet it is obvious to everyone with eyes that he has been improving continuously, and has now put together a string of 3 solid performances.

I think that Al is gone, Millsap will be gone unless he signs for cheap-- leaving us with Fav and Enes. Along with this, I think people will always under appreciate how crucial these first couple of years were to their development, and how much better they could be in the long run.

Except for the fact that sitting the young guys and having them learn first is a proven method, where as your daughter getting hit by a car is the exception to the rule. Try again. It worked for Reddick, and seems to be working for our guys, also worked for Stockton and others.
 
Gordon Hayward was just on 1280 the xone and Monson flat out asked him if getting more minutes for the core four would help them be better players, and Gordon said definitely yes.

So is Gordon Hayward wrong?


Link?

No, find your own link.

Yes, I am sure that we can find a number of examples like Reddick, just as we can find a number of examples where players say that getting put into the rotation right away was beneficial to their career. This means nothing, only that different people respond differently to similar events.

So, out of curiosity, is it your contention that Damian Lillard also would have been better off NOT to be in the rotation his rookie year?
 
I guess Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, and Lebron James all got really screwed over by their respective coaches - at least according to the OP's logic, considering they were all inserted directly into the rotation their rookie years.

It's funny, because we all know that Derrick and Enes are going to say the exact same thing one day (Enes has already been saying it on a consistent basis over the past 2 seasons).

No, we don't all know this. And you don't know it either. As a rhetorical device, I really, really hate it when people try the 'we all know it" or "you know it" ploy.
 
The Thunder are so stupid. Can you imagine how good they would be now if they had sat Durant Westbrook and Ibaka for their first three seasons?
 
Yay! i hope our guys all end up on another team just like reddick did!....... NOT

And Lebron James started from the get go, has been MVP, All-Star, several NBA finals, one ring. Would he be better if he sat for 3 years? Not trying to be facetious, but a lot depends on what skills the player brings from the outset. JJ was not ready. Our young were not ready to start from the outset, but contrary to your point, the recent outings of our young bigs shows they have been ready for more minutes all along. Same for Burks and Hay.

My Brandy Sailled. Crack one, homie.
 
It's beneficial if you're a bad to avg player. Someone who needs to completely change their game.

But... If you're super talented and ready to play?

Different story.

In fact, I'd say talented bigs in the NBA have less of a learning curve than smalls. Especially unathletic smalls, like JJ Redick...
