See I don't think Dirk has to retire to develop young guys. This past season was a perfect one to start developing players, but there was still a very inconsistent commitment to guys like Powell, Anderson, and Mejri. None of those guys got even 15 mpg. I'm sorry, but you're never going to develop players if they don't get minutes...period. And all of them were good enough to contribute. But this whole play one game, maybe not play the next isn't working IMO. That might work for a seasoned vet, but young guys can have their confidence shot with such inconsistency.
