Bones Hyland, after being a fan favourite, and promising young player in Denver now has 5 DNP’s in the last 7 games.
Bones became a sort of malcontent on Denver, leading them to essentially trade him to the Clippers for next to nothing. The arrival of Harden, and Westbrook + Mann being there and playing a similar role has likely led to his irrelevance on the team. Are there other players who have been in this scenario? How have those player careers turned out?
I actually think Ayo Dosunmu is going through a similar thing. Promising rookie season that surpassed expectations, but now he’s in year 3 getting fewer and fewer minutes.
