It disingenuous to pigeonhole him and say he did one thing while not doing the other.
It's hard to say for certain that he wouldn't have given MJ the start at OG, because Boling retired. It is pretty certain that he would not have started Willis, because Malone and Core have been here longer and they have more game experience.

There are many others but if the rookies were talented enough, they got playing time.
"Marv doesn't play rookies" is not true.
My post above is.
