For example, Casey has held JV back - but assumedly (and perhaps with Masai and even JV's blessing) in the belief it was better to go slow with their young "big". But they've plainly been committed to JV, long term.
(The contrast between Popovich acceding to CoJo's request for more D-League time, versus Minny's refusal to allow Bennett the same opportunity, seems relevant to me, here). Similarly, DeMar has been given free rein to develop his iso/slashing/shooting game, while JV develops.
One hopes that we are closer to seeing Casey begin working on the (acknowledged) limitations of the offensive system. But the one thing I don't think it is safe (or fair) to assume is that either Masai or Casey are unaware of those limitations (or are indifferent to their own players' development).
