Also good to see Jonas have a positive impact at key moments… like we all knew anyway, but benched in crunch time for some reason =|
Remember when Larry got hurt and Willie HAD to use Jonas, and Jonas responded by having monster games? Sometimes, its almost like you have to force Willie to use Jonas. I’m not wishing any injury on Larry but man I felt that Jonas that Willie HAD to use was so good.

Since January 1st, here are the +/- numbers for Jonas and Larry:
Jonas: +100
Larry: +105
The data does not support that idea that the team would be better off if Willie played Larry less and JV more.
In reality, the reason that Larry is playing more minutes lately is that Zion is playing more minutes. With the way that Zion and Trey have improved as rebounders lately, they help cover for Larry's weakness on the boards.
With no BI, the Zion/Trey/Larry trio is our primary offensive engine.
The secondary engine is CJ/JV. Those two play a really good inside-out game, and CJ is one of the few on the team I fully trust to feed Jonas in the post without turning the ball over. The CJ/JV combo is the only dependable offense we have when Zion is on the bench, but with Zion playing more minutes, we don't have to rely on that as much as we previously did.
