really wanted BI to be the #1. He's just not good enough to do that. At least not with a non shooting, non defending, non defensive rebounding, non center like Zion next to him.


I think that’s really valid. BI’s effectiveness as a facilitator is best when Zion is not out there. But BI being out there with Zion won’t lessen Zion’s ability as a facilitator. This makes much more sense letting Zion initiate the offense with the starting group. You can then transition to BI when Zion goes out at the 5 or 6 minute mark.

Not a bad idea to have Zion start the game off as the initiator if only to get him engaged earlier. The Pels are on pace for a 48-win or so season even with the number of blown games, so the narrative that the team is in the dredges is not accurate. Ideally, the move will additionally get him engaged on the boards, where the team needs him to step up.
