Are we all in agreement that this is why the team is stressing BI to take more 3's
To get BI more off-ball? lol .... that answer would be no, to help open up the offense would be yes. Team wants BI
Taking the 3 ball, particularly above the key off high-picks and in transition, as it's essential to keep the floor open and prevent defenses from flattening.
In regards to Zion starting off initiating, keep in mind that BI, CJ, and Zion are all averaging near career highs in assists so they've done a good job with ball-movement and want to keep the ball moving in the offense. I'd suspect that Pels are attempting to get Zion engaged earlier and have the team playing with more force, that it typically does when Zion initiates.

It's a simple concept. To maximize Zion and BI as a tandem, Zion has to be the ball handler when they are on the floor together. If you take the ball out of Zion's hands, you essentially take him out of the possession/play since none of our players can maximize Zion's impact offball. Ingram has shown he can be effective off ball and as a bailout option.
