I wouldn't be surprised if CJ/Trey returning causes the Pels to lose a game or 2 because Willie will make the wrong choice in a game in picking offense over defense.

I would say that it's likely, because players will work to get CJ and/or Trey involved in the offense, instead of simply playing basketball.

I definitely think that it would be better for CJ to come off the bench for a couple of games before returning to the starting lineup.

Again, when you are playing with half your rotation players (or more) out, a player like BI will feel the need to take more shots. I wouldn’t think that’s hard to understand.

And now he's playing better team ball within the flow of the offense.

Correct. But again, you will have a better flow to your offense when you are playing with rotation guys, not guys who just joined the team, like Ryan and Robinson-Earl, and Kira. And Dyson is a completely different offensive player the last 4 or 5 games now that he’s occasionally looking to attack the goal and dropping that floater. Again, I would think that would be somewhat obvious. Much like the injuries, you can say it’s just an excuse but it’s an explanation.

When we needed buckets late, BI was super aggressive going to the rim.

Imo this is more important than him taking 3s, him getting back to attacking the rim more like he used to.

I love when bi is in attack mode.
