As long as he is ready to contribute in the playoffs, I'll be happy.
Coaches have absolutely no reason to hold somebody back, it is not their work. Do not take Amir's progress so self-evidently, I mean like he got PT and voila!, it's a result of hard work in practices.

As I have stated repeatedly, I do not believe in "faster development" theory. Every coach would use it happily with their draftees instead of (over)paying in free market for vets.
