Is your point that our draft picks suck (therefore our front office is inept), or that you want our players to play more? Do you think they are bad so they aren't playing, or they are going to be bad if they don't play?

My point is that everyone else is playing rookies but us.
Maybe they do suck. The fact that our two rookies last year played so little compared to the other similar rookies is telling, don't you think?

It's not just this year, which is way too early to be bitching about this with Kira.
I am more than aware of how much the nba draft is a crapshoot, and maybe we have crap bullets in our gun. I think it's too early to tell on NAW and Jaxson, and obviously way to early for Kira, but do the numbers i just told you not concern you about Jaxson and NAW?

NAW seems to be a pretty good defender, and you've got to love the energy and heart he plays with, and he's been knocking down open 3's, so i don't understand why he isn't getting some run right now. We have a 3 man rotation at the 1 and 2. How is it possible he can't get minutes there?

and to be clear, i think NAW can be a good NBA player, and has a better chance at sticking around than Jaxson does. Hayes is obviously much more talented, and i without a doubt would not give up on him, but the things that bother me the most with him isn't physical tools, it's mental tools and his mentality. He seems like he needs more time in the film room and practice, where as NAW needs to spend more time actually playing.

Can't speak for him, and again 3 games in so not worried now, but at some point you need to find out what you have in your players, and the only way to do that is to let them play...more than 4 minutes a game here and there.

And obviously that goes for NAW more than Kira. We need NAW to play stretches of meaningful minutes to know what we have in him this season. I'm sure it'll come.

I do agree with I think Bunchie who said it, where SVG is basically seeing what he has with the starters in terms minutes and rotations. Their burden will lighten as the season goes on and the bench will likely get more minutes in general, not just due to injuries here and there.
