There are many schools of thought in how to structure a rebuild. One way suggests giving the Pistons’ young players all the minutes they can handle, where they can do on-the-job training and relish in their successes and learn from their mistakes.
There’s another philosophy where those youngsters have to earn minutes, starting with whatever amount they can handle competently and build up as they show more ability to play well in longer spurts.
On a team that has started 3-11, there’s room for considering either philosophy, and it often falls to the coach or to the front office in how they want to distribute that playing time for the long-term future development of the franchise and those players.
