this is fascinating. A few things that stood out for me -

No one played 48 minutes for 2016-2017 or 2020-2022.
Rajon Rondo with back-to-back 48 minute games for the Kings in November 2015.
Most of these are late regular season games - presumably either teams with several guys out/limited options, or “must win” games for playoff seeding.

1 of 3 triple doubles in this game; might be the first time 3 in the same game ever happened. Almost certainly the first time 2 off of the bench for the same team happened.

Superplex123 | Lakers

120 | 10 hours ago

This is why the Jazz lost (the tankoff). Grizzlies played 1 guy off the bench while the Jazz played 2 and both of them got a triple double. You can’t win (the tankoff) like this.

Just imagine with the season on the line and the fate of lottery balls depending on your team’s performance and your coach calls on you as the one terrible enough to lead your team to a loss.

It wasn’t only him, though. Rupert came through in the clutch with a ¹⁄₁₁ 3 point shooting performance and -45 in under 40 minutes.

The six people that played for the Grizzlies in order of minutes played were:

T-1: Jahmai Mashack (59th pick in the 2025 draft)

T-1: Lucas Williamson (Undrafted playing his 5th NBA game out of Loyola Chicago)

3rd: Toby Okani (Undrafted playing in his 4th NBA game out of WVU)

4th: Rayan Rupert (43rd pick in 2023 - actually has played 150+ games)

5th: Adama Ball (Undrafted playing in his 7th NBA game out of Santa Clara)

6th: Dariq Whitehead (22nd pick in 2023, playing in his 26th NBA game)

Egregious.

I wouldn’t even say all of these guys are terrible. Mashack has a niche (playing 48 minutes at center is not gonna make him look good) and Rupert dropped a 33 point triple double on Easter. I would never feel comfortable starting any of them, but they’re solid bench pieces as far as two-way players go

Am i the only one who doesnt mind tanking that much since it gives guys who may never have the chance otherwise to achieve their lifelong dream playing in the nba. Like they got nothing to stress about just do whatever you want it doesnt matter how you play

Cythammer

15 | 9 hours ago

Based on the ESPN tanking article I read a few days ago, it doesn’t seem like these guys who come in and get 48 minutes for 5 games or whatever before being cut are the most deserving of non-NBA guys though. They basically ‘cut in line’ because the teams don’t want the best guy not on an NBA roster, as that guy might be too good.
