I agree his defense isn’t great but hes one of our best shooters and a pretty solid rebounder. Hard to improve on defense, when you don’t get a chance to play in games.
It took Trey a while to earn his minutes, and the team really needed his shooting back then, but his defense was bad at first and he was able to improve while not getting stead minutes. The same thing can be said about Hawk, except the Pels don't need his shooting with CJ and Trey back.
In games where Hawk has played less than 20 minutes, including DNPs, the Pels are 5-1 LINK I'm glad people are irrationally excited about a rookie, especially after so many thought he was a terrible pick, but not playing Hawkins is not hurting the Pels so far.

I guess my argument to that would be I would want to play my best players regardless. I get it winning is more important than development at this stage for the pelicans but I would argue do we NEED to play Naji or even Jose that many minutes? I mean isn’t Naji kind of redundant with guys like Herb and Dyson? A more confident Hawkins integrated into this offense to me might be better than random Naji minutes. This isnt a knock on Naji( been really solid).

Hawk’s time will come. In the meantime, as long as we win, I’m chill.
