Is the D-League a Viable Way to Develop Young Players?

[JWash]

Was reading through the Celtics board on realGM after the game for some giggles, but came across something actually interesting.

A lot of them were complaining about Stevens not playing their young players enough, especially considering they're technically supposed to be in a rebuild (they don't have 2 stars and 1 emerging one like we do). Can pull some quotes if you guys like.

Brad gave their 5 young guys 39 minutes last night, so they got their wish.

Early in the 4th,the Celtics had cut the lead to 5 and had the ball. Consecutive turnovers by R. J. Hunter led to baskets by Kyle and TRoss to put us up by 9 , and they never got closer again.

Bebe and Scola also do not play the same position.

And I'm not the one who brought Scola into this....
