The **** it doesn't.
He will stall the development of every other young player on that team and in the process become so hated as a teammate that in 2 years he'll get the Russell treatment.
You cannot watch these guys play and think they're anything but miserable watching Ball mope his ass up and down the floor and the launch a brick. He isn't developing - he's getting actively worse. This isn't 'play through it' bad - it's waaaaay beyond that.
Bench him. He's hurting everyone, including himself.
Oh, and Luke, I'm not sure what Lopez did to you or your pets but Randle is pretty much getting abused by Embiid on both sides of the court. Maybe bring Brook in for a bit?
