Is he out of the rotation? Noticed him not playing the last 2 games, figured he was hurt but then played garbage minutes tonight. Anyone know what’s going on?

Basically Hawkins took his minutes. So yes out of rotation.

Willie just refuses to take Naji's minutes. Jose should get more pt than him. He's shooting 40 percent from 3

Teams just consistently punished the Pels defense by forcing Jose to switch onto bigs.

Basically the same thing that happened in the Lakers game with Jaxson was happening every game, but other bigs don’t suck like Jaxson sucks.

And once one team did it, every team started doing it.

I think they have also been holding Jose back a little to rest his ankle while also giving more PT to Hawk. Trading Jose or Naji would be dangerous though since both are universally loved by the entire team. You don’t want to fix what isn’t broken, inevitably someone will have to sacrifice time with a roster this deep. It’s a nice problem to have.
