It is diffucult to come up with one clear answer because every case is different but here are what i would call "general guidelines".
Never judge a player based on his first season.
A player may not be fully developed by his second season either, BUT the player should have shown significant improvement from his first to second season.
By the third season it should be clear what type of player you have. But even if a player has not developed into a starter it may still be a good idea to keep him under contract as a back up.
Injuries can throw a wrench into this, and sometime a decent player can't get a lot of playing time because of talent in front of him. But even if fans don't see a lot of production coaches should know what they have.
