Because you keep throwing out the 10 dayers annd GLers as if they got 'quality' minutes last season. They played because of injury (Cavanaugh 39 total games) and trades of our vets. Anything after Beli and Illy were traded...meh. So saying Jaylen Morris played 17 mpg means squat when he played 6 total games.
Our 3 1st round picks plus Collins, Prince, Bembry and Dorsey are expected to get quality minutes and have it mean something to their development.
Example: Before the deadline: Collins backed up Illyasova,who couldn't stay on the floor because of all the fouling, now he's starting backed up by Spellman. Beli backed up Baze...now one of Huerter and Dorsey will back up Baze. Dennis was backed up by Delaney and Taylor, now Lin is backed up by a 19 year old Young.
Individually the new players may be more talented but youth matters in wins and losses. That's all I'm trying to say.
