I sincerely doubt that he showed better in practice but didn't play because other kids were older. It's not a civil service job; it's a meritocrocy. Even though it means I'm an ass/u/me again, I assume you meant that but I don't want to presume to speak for you.

No, what I meant is yes, he's the least productive scholarship player on the team because he lacks the experience of others. That's not why he didn't get the minutes other "least productive scholarship player due lack of experience" in the past have gotten. In the past, they didn't have 10 higher class teammates with more experience that made them better at that time in the system in front of them on the depth chart.
The more time in real action that you can get a player that needs development, the better, that shouldn't be argued and AM would've done that if he wasn't sophomore and senior heavy. Landers kind of got a raw deal in that regard and AM lost nothing because now that he doesn't have to suffer through a sophomore who's behind the curve due to lack of playing time.
