And Sexton was out there. If he thought Taylor/Brice deserved to be in on the merit of their play, they could have taken Sexton out and played Dunn/Ochai at the guard spots.
Taylor and Brice probably film tiktok dance moves while Simone gets shots up
I think the only way playing just a few minutes of garbage time could somehow make a player *worse* would be if that player suffered a debilitating injury during those few minutes.
I mean if a few minutes of garbage time can actually wreck a dude's confidence that significantly, then I've got some breaking news: That player probably wouldn't amount to anything regardless.
Well that's a possibility for Taylor. He seems very timid.
Or 79 points in the first half. Gotta be close to a Jazz record.

Hendricks is with the g league Stars. I don't think he's on the active roster

To be fair, Cam and Jarace really aren’t getting burn either.
Jarace has 18 total mins and 12 came in a 50 point blowout loss for the Pacers tonight.
Isaiah 1:13

Clarkson said that Ingles asked him for his braider going into tomorrow!!! He’s gonna need some extensions but stay tuned folks! He also concluded his interview with, “Peace”.
Love you brother!

They were. Both recorded DNPCDs (along with Samanic).
Hardy seems to be a firm believer that with rookies you dont give minutes just to give minutes. Hendricks and Brice are being pushed to develop and they get minutes when they show that they have taken some steps.

Random observations:
- Man, Ja really killed his team. It's not like they haven't played well without him before (even for long stretches), but this is somehow different. They just look deflated and hopeless. They're really missing Adams' leadership and defense, and Marcus Smart looks like he hates his life. I just can't see a turnaround for this team until they get Morant back. Taylor Jenkins may yet become a sacrificial lamb.
- I feel like Olynyk travels 27 times per game and they only call it once or twice. LOL. I especially love his patented "I'm dribbling and looking to make a pass, but the window suddenly closes when I pick up the ball, so I take five steps to not fall on my face" move. By the way, Kelly has low key been on fire from the perimeter. He's shooting 40% but taking only a ridiculous 1.3 shots per game. What's up with that? He needs at least four. Clarkson, on the other hand, is stinking it up by launching 4.3 bombs per game and hitting only 29%. This is on Hardy, he has to get things like this under control. Even Collins is taking 3.5 perimeter shots, on similarly nasty sub-30 accuracy.
- Something to keep an eye on: we allowed the Grizz to "guard" Lauri with various small guys (Marcus Smart, among others) far from the basket without trying to exploit it even once. Lauri did make some cuts inside and sealed his midget defender after recognizing the mismatch, but we never attempted entry passes. This is one thing where the current "big frontcourt" really hurts us. When both Kessler and a 29% shooting Collins are out there, the lane stays clogged and it's hard to find the space to exploit gimmick defenses like this. IMO Olynyk should take Kessler's starting spot for the time being. We need spacing there in the worst way.
- Dunn seems to know his days on the regular rotation are numbered. He looked just as deflated as the Grizzlies.
- Is Ochai playing himself into the G-League?
