Ah the beauty of rookies and the Mavs fanbase tunnel vision. Of course the Mavs handle all rookies correctly.
Two outcomes:
Green plays and sucks, then Carlisle was/is justified in his opinion to not play him.
Green plays and rocks, then Carlisle developed him properly and picked the correct moment to unleash him.
So Carlisle was correct either way.
Of course it´s impossible to prove that Green could have contributed in a positive manner earlier or better than another rotational player without him actually playing. That he would be much further in his development etc. etc.
