Let me be clear,  I  am not saying (although maybe others are) that you should sit kids to keep them off the NBA radar. But sometimes, a lack of depth gives kids exposure that allows them to jump earlier than expected.  I think MCW is a good example. If he'd played 30 min a game his freshman season, I think there's a pretty good chance he jumps. Same with Ennis, if MCW is in front of him and Ennis plays 10 min a game, none in crunch time, there's NO WAY he jumps. Ennis didn't get drafted on flashes of potential, he got drafted for his savy, measured, pure point guard play, little of which would have been noticed by the NBA if he was just playing the backup spot. Battle may be gone after next year, but to me (and I could be wrong) he doesn't project as an "overwhelming potential" sort of player. Instead, he's a skilled guard who's got good measurables. 25 min a game as your team's 3rd option might not get you drafted, especially if you're not asked to show all of your skills. 35 min a game as your teams main shot creator might.
