I can't remember if Tim Hardaway started every game his rookie season, but he played more minutes per game, then Nash played last season...Nellie was the coach.

I don't know where he got the reputation that he doesn't play rookies. I doubt there's a coach in the league who likes playing rookies and Nellie is no different. That being said, if he has a talented rookie, he's shown time and time again the he'll play him.

I don't know if Devin will start, but if he doesn't it will be becaue he's not good enough, not because he's a rookie.
