Not to mention unlike the Lakers and Sixers, the Pels will start the season with their eyes on the playoffs. If QPon is healthy and they add guys like Bazemore, no way Buddy gets enough minutes. Even if he's a complete stud rookies are almost always bad on defense, no way he moves ahead of QPon and Bazemore on the depth chart unless one or both are in a horrible shooting slump.

I can see the Lillard parallels: 6th pick, older player that improved every year in college, elite level offense capable.

But I agree I don't think he gets the usage early in the season. The press builds a narrative very early in the season that usually sticks throughout the season. If he's not lighting it up early and getting play, then he won't get it.
