You started off wrong.  JJ was not available for most of the season.  He had two bouts with Covid.  He had a Glute injury.  He had a knee Injury.   He took himself to G-League the first time when TLC wasn't even playing.   The second time when Knox was getting more minutes than TLC.

It's a great narrative that you're trying to build, but it's not the truth.   Maybe you looked at March games and saw JJ on the sidelines and TLC in the game and felt that it was like that the whole season...  Sorry.. No... Didn't happen that way. 

Since you want to build your Narrative around TLC..> Let's take a deep dive...

These are TLC's Spiltes.

Notice he played 225 minutes in December...

Why?  Because everybody had COVID and we had to play Somebody.  That somebody was TLC...

O But you say.. .we could have given those minutes to JJ...

Not when JJ had COVID too!

Notice for the whole month of Feb, TLC played 19 minutes.  I mean, I know that Feb is a short month but 19 Minutes?  Damn.. this is the guy who was taking all of JJ's minutes?  But in Feb, TLC wasn't playing... why not play JJ.

Well, he was in the G-League and around Feb 8, injured his glute. 

Came off injury in March.

March 12-16 played with the Skyhawks.  Was called up after that. 

You're Nate.  You are pushing for the playoffs.   Do you play Knox, who has shown that he's not that good.  TLC, who is steady.  Or Jalen who you haven't seen play at all on this level because he's always injured....

Keep the Narrative going though... It's entertaining, I just hope people don't take it as fact.   It's like when I was younger, I played Tecmo Bowl and this guy kept beating me with Cap Boso (Chicago).   He'd do the post across the middle and it always worked.  One day i watched the Bears play.  Cap Boso wasn't good at all.   That's your narrative. 

20 games at g league, 22 at NBA with a stunning 5 mpg, other games where he was available but did not play.
TLC played for 52 games 13 mpg, Knox 22 for 6,5 mpg, both are out of the league or almost.

Say what you want but makes no sense,  coach need to develop rookies if the potential is there, and clearly JJ has potential, we were playing scrubs ahead of him because coach was scared to do the right thing, is so simple.

I had some thoughts with these three plus Trae and DJM.  We got Capela, JC, Bogi, Jhol, and next year Hunter taking up a lot of capspace.  Would be interesting to see what we could flip to add a third star. 

We nailed it with DJM.  That is the type of move I was begging for us to make a year ago.  I haven't heard anyone mention this concept yet, but why not explore bringing in another guy?  We could package Bogi + someone in our front court, add a pick or dare I suggest one of our rookie contracts.  We still have pieces to make a move and keep Trae and DJM.  

Everyone last year asked me, "Who could we possibly get?"  I don't know, and that's not really the point.  All I can say is I may not be on Team Stand Pat.  Unless we are clearly a championship favorite, lets get another star if we can.  It's worth a conversation. 

Clearly is a possibility but I don’t see any star that may become available. Other issue to consider is that we are not as deep as we were, those moves of 3 players for 1 are no longer as good as they were as it would make us really thin, and we don’t have any picks to trade. 

I think we have 10 good players

Trae/Holiday

DJM/Bogi

Hunter/Griffin

Collins/JJ

Capela/OO

After those there is really a big drop, J Holiday, Krejcy, Martin, Kaminsky… no trade value on them, I don’t think we can use them neither, perhaps Martin. If we trade 3 of the above, who would play, rotation of 8 players wi5 2 sophomores… that is not going to work.
