Why don't teams play literal non basketball players to tank? (alien.top)

Got the inspiration from someone in a thread saying they would be great at losing games for a team, which made me wonder, why tanking teams don't play undrafted scrubs instead of NBA level players.

bad for developing any good or decent players you do have

pisses off the players you drafted who wanna be playing

won’t make as much money because fans won’t wanna watch undrafted players lose every night

will probably get investigated by the league for blatantly tanking for not playing your starters anyway
