The thing with players coming in who don't get a lot of playing time is no team has film on them and there a wild card. Its the same when a top player goes out and a secondary player suddenly gets the green light to do what he wants, It can and does take teams by surprise and is a great wrench tossed into games that sometimes don't have much mystery going in. After a few games of game tap and couches being able to review film and create a new defensive plan for the player you get to truly see if its a gimmick brought on by an unscouted player or a player in a new role or if that player is the real deal.
