S.Bey/Achiuwa/Maxey/Quickley/Pritchard/Bane were all taken from 19-30. All have played significant minutes on their team because they are good enough to command it.
Oooooh...careful. I think there are some assumptions made here that don't hold water.
The Mavericks are DEEP. Not deep with great players, but VERY deep with ok-good ones. Many of those guys were drafted by teams who really NEEDED them to play right away. The fact that the Mavs are in the position (leaving Covid aside) not to have to play their rookies is a good thing, imo. I am definitely not someone who thinks throwing young talent into the fire is always the best way to go.
Maybe Achiuwa would've played behind WCS while KP was out to start the season, or maybe he'd have even gotten first crack at the minutes WCS has been playing. Other than that, I don't think a single one of those guys would've seen the floor outside of garbage time here before the Covid situation happened.
