When you are a rookie in one of the best teams in the league, you are not given many opportunities to fight for minutes or a role in one of the regular rotations. Besides practice, the only place to show off your game to the coach, is in garbage minutes of a blow out game. Once the rookies are dressed, they have to be ready to impress. But sometimes things go awry. In OKC's 45 point win over the Hornets, Perry Jones III did what no rookie would want to do in the situation described above, accidentally scoring 2 points for the opposing team. Which will definitely not get him more minutes. I am sure the Hornets didn't mind though, I mean they could use all the points they can get.
