I know it’s early in the season but I was checking up on all the rookies this year and I was surprised to see that the 8th and 9th picks both received basically no playing time. I get that the Pacers are trying to make a playoff push but it still seems odd that Jarace Walker only plays in garbage time. And Utah seems to have decided to give Keyonte George the green light instead and send Hendricks down to the G League
Ofc it’s only a month into the season and this could all change but it’s still odd to see top 10 picks getting the second round pick treatment
I wasn’t a huge fan of either player being drafted that high, but it does raise the question why the Jazz used the 9th pick on a guy that they feel they can’t play. The next pick was Cason Wallace who has played meaningful minutes for a team that is looking for a top 6 finish.
