Hes literally the only point guard on this team, is battle tested, great defender and at times completely changes the pace of the game for better. We need him to be on the court.


I agree with all of that but from what I saw in Jose's minutes last night he just looked too small vs the Thunder. Maybe I'm wrong and that'll change but the Thunder have a huge backcourt. Both SGA and Jalen Williams are both 6'6 and solidly built

We all love Jose, but he didn't look comfortable last night against the bigger guards of OKC.
He played in the last two games against OKC in the regular season and he was 5-14 from the field for 13 points, 6 assists and turnover.

Naji was more of a difference maker last night than Jose.
And that happens. Sometimes it's Naji, sometimes it's Jose. It's a blessing to have two guys who come off the bench that can change a game real quick with their intensity.

He is smaller for sure and its a disadvantage but the other things he brings to the table this team desperately needs. When he increases the pace- this team scores, its fun, Trey and even CJ play well with him. Even his attitude is what you need to win games. Its tough to get Hawkins in because the two guys who are struggling are BI and CJ. Are we cutting their minutes for Hawkins? Probably not.
