This roster has one big flaw and it’s at the 5.

However a real HC should be able to work with this roster and have a 50 win season at a minimum with Zion playing 70 games.

The so called “shortcomings” are strictly on Willie refusing to play guys that are not great on defense.

If Willie played Hawk/Matt more this season, especially in the small ball lineups where Zion was the 5, we would have had at least 2-3 more wins.

It seems the average fan can see that a lineup of CJ/Hawk/Matt/Trey/Z would absolutely dominate any team that tries to play defense against them, but the HC can’t see it for some reason.

I’ve said all season, who cares if we give up 130 points when we’re scoring 140/150

You are correct when it comes to the younger players but CJ is one of the worst defenders in the league.

Willie is obviously not a good offensive mind in a league that clearly favors offense,it is very clearly time to move on.

He is also way too passive in a league that supports/caters to the outspoken. There is no reason to expect anything different from him: Zion will continue to get fouled and the coach won't stand up for the team so they will continue to get screwed by the officials. They need to move on but they won't because they are a poorly run franchise.
