I don't agree. Because even though he is playing
garbage time he will be getting almost immediate feedback from Sheed, Flipper and the other guys on both his offense and defense. Whereas in the D league he will get none of that. He is also benefiting tremendously by practicing with us which means against our starters.
If he was sitting and not playing for us then yes I would agree, but since he is playing for us I think it substantially better for him to play garbage time for us then play in the D league. In fact that is my major complaint of how they have handled him. He never should have gone to the D league at all but played garbage time for us two years ago spent the summers bulking up and some regular rotation minutes last year. If he had done that then he would in my opinion be a lot further along today than he currently is.
Very very few players that go through the D league ever become stars in the NBA. There are of course exceptions but that is exactly what they are.
