Just saw BI interview. When asked about shooting more 3s- he said the year he did he had Jrue and Lonzo getting him open catch and shoot 3s. When asked about getting a point guard on the team could help? Hes like yeah it could. Different from Griff who didn’t completely feel point guard was an answer. He didn’t say this out loud but seemed like its lot of pressure for him to create.

Also mentioned that even though it was a joke about CJ trying to call us- that its important we stay connected to figure out what to do.

Not a lot of I want finish unfinished business in nola talk here. But interesting that he clearly stated we need a pg in his own way. Seems like he thinks hes staying but again Im sure he hasnt been told otherwise.

Yeah, Griff already said they haven’t sat down and talked to the players individually yet, those talks would come when that happens.

In BI's defense, Zion wasn't Zion for about half the season, but it's still a BS answer because he plays with someone that assists on 3s at a high rate in Zion.

Zion was 9th in the league in 3pt assists just leaving that information out there

Top 10, how many true point guards?

The pay for shooters who create is different than pay for people who are mostly only shooters. One is paid max and the other is paid like Tyler Herro ($120M/4).
