I've still yet to see an explanation then why we inserted him into the rotation in January then pulled him from the rotation afyrt a January where he played extremely well and won his minutes.

We got fully healthy, he came in for 2-3 games and missed a couple of 3s and rotations, Willie didn't give him any consistent run, and now he looks broken.

The fact that Hawk hasn't built up enough rep to earn the benefit of the doubt is mind boggling. He's a good rebounding guard and plays smart offensive basketball. His shot selection is so fricking advanced. We have like 2 dudes who can shoot 3s off the dribble well, and he's one of them.

Just crazy shite from Willie.

It’s not even just off the dribble. His movement without the ball is the best on the team. He’s close to an ideal pairing with Zion because of the gravity that he should be able to create with his movement and shooting. Willie is an idiot. At a minimum one of Hawk or CJ should be on the court at all times.

He didn’t look broken last night I tell you. He ran the PnR pretty freaking easily with a guy who can leap like Zion. Not to mention this was during the championship game where defense was played.

He also ran a fast break, played unselfish (looking at you Mathurin) and had 5 or more rebounds. In reality he should have been the MVP as a few of you like using +/- so much, he was a plus 12 on the floor and team Jalen was a minus seven without him.
