Here's a gentle reminder that, of all our regular rotation players, Hawk has the worst +/-. The reason that Willie doesn't play him is that we lose his minutes. This is because Hawk's defense is still very much a work in progress.
I'm a fan of Hawk's game and think he's going to end up being great, but the idea that Willie is messing up by keeping him on the bench is not justified by the evidence. When Willie tried to bench Jose for Hawk, we were worse, and that's why Willie gave the rotation spot back to Jose.

Shamit has rebutted this argument many many times, citing how combinations with lesser talent around him during games has also impacted his + / - .
It’s absolutely crazy to me that everyone outside of New Orleans can see just how good Jordan Hawkins is but people and fans of this team seem to think Jose and Naji are better short and long term which I find absolutely HILARIOUS.
At some point I think the Pelicans are dumb enough to trade him to keep one of the aforementioned players above in town and I hope and pray if/when that happens this dude becomes an All Star. Because out of everyone not named CJ/BI/Zion , he’s the one with the most potential. That includes Trey Murphy.

While I agree with you that he needs work, Willie don’t give a shite about +/-. Jose always wins his minutes and leads the team in that category but somehow Willie managed to pull him out of the rotation for no fricking reason.
