quote:There could be a 1 time even here or there, but there is very little chance a first year coach can overrule those kinds of things. Much in the way that Gentry had to play Zion in bursts, though I doubt that's how he would have done it if he had his choice.
Are we really to believe that every time Willie puts BI and Jonas back into the game early in the fourth and pushes their minutes up at career highs that he is calling Nelson to get the thumbs up?
There's been a lot of discussion in recent years about how coaches nowadays have as little control as they've ever had.

I mean just looking at the minutes distribution post injury there is no doubt in my mind Willie is following advice of bringing back BI slowly, but it's also clear that he is putting BI and JV in a lot sooner than is clearly ideal or intended to win games when those post return periods are seemingly past.
What I don't think is true that if you asked Nelson he would be saying, yeah, go ahead and get BI back to playing 38mpg for BI before the achilles scare. Or that those 10ish games averaging 38mpg were an ideal minute load given the physicality they also came with.
What I am hoping, is that after a third injury this season Nelson and Co. might make the post return minutes load that seems to be around 31-34 the new norm the rest of the way.
