Butt-Bigby gives Naz the advantage with Both on the court at the same time, IMO, there will be times when Naz is at the 5. But, this team will strive with Naz at the 4 because he will be a matchup nightmare for opposing teams because of his very very high Basketball IQ and his flat out nasty abilitiy to put the ball on the floor, or knock down the 3 or play with his back to the basket.

I agree Coach Wade loves Skylar, so that’s why I put him ahead of Edwards in the starting rotation.

Wade told Williams he wants him to lead the team in rebounds, so I expect him to get lots of minutes. Very interested to see the rotation tomorrow night

It does make sense to play Naz and BW together. BW is the least skilled offensively of our forwards but with the way Naz can distribute the ball it would be a great to compliment him. And Will has stressed rim protection and BW is that guy.

I will admit that I am obsessed with Williams so I selfishly want him to start.
