This could be said for our young guys too, whom we presume should be our future. So I think it raises the valid question, and good reason to track it with threads like this, why that isn’t happening? Everyone is speculating, some wanting to spin it in the most positive light, some scared of the most negative one, but given we have had performance issues and could have used a spark, just like we could be doing with the bigs, it’s a question as to why neither of our draft picks have seen time?

If they aren't playing amazing then its more of a reason to give them minutes and figure it out because you know they are our starters.

Then why isn’t that the case with the Zion/Adam’s/Melli/Hayes rotation?

Zion and Adams? They averaged like 35 minutes between the 2 of them... Melli and Hayes have been really bad and we lose games if they play too long? What's your point here? That we need more help down low and that starting a rookie PG has absolutely nothing to do with that?

Bro Bledsoe is suppose to be our starting PG for what the next 3 years? And we are trying to see if we are gonna pay Lonzo 20+ mil to start for what 5 years? So yes let's blow that all up to give our 14th rotational player minutes on a rookie contract with 4 years remaining. Y'all make me laugh

First and foremost because the combo of Melli and Hayes has proved disastrous. One or the other we can maybe survive.

So we tried just 1 last game to see how it worked. Still like shite, but not just because of Hayes (Bledsoe had a horrible stretch on offense with Hayes). So we still need more info and we are still tweaking who plays better with who with our top 8/9 guys.

It's a slow process because of the lack of preseason, so now it's being done in the regular season.

I really wish he would loosen up the rotation, but I get why he hasn't.
