I have to share your pessimism on this one Tater.

I think MAYBE one or two of them will be given a LEGITIMATE shot at making a difference.

I don't think Ben leaving will have that big of an impact on the young guys. It should give DD more minutes though. Samb is nowhere near being NBA ready, and will most likely be either overseas or in the DL. Max is too small to play the 5, unless they moved Sheed over and slid him into the 4.

Hopefully Delf will be able to get Mo's minutes, but that's assuming Joe doesn't grab another vet - which he's looking to do - and that Flip doesn't give all the minutes to the vet - which he's likely to do.

I'd love to see what these kids can do. But I'm really skeptical of the opportunities (or lack there of) that they'll get to prove themselves.

Will they be so afraid to make a mistake and get burried at the end of the bench that they'll play poorly?
