i think BI want to forcus on defense other than offense in this USA team…we all know BI is a great 3 level scorer~~he just need to improve his defense
It’s no insult to say he is a role player on this team. He’s not a star amongst stars and nothing wrong with that. Not a super athletic guy that can break down a defender with speed, especially when they don’t call cheap fouls like in the nba so going to be hard for him to create on the level of guys like Brunson and Anthony edwards. Hope it is beneficial to BI to have to learn to play more off ball cuz should probably be more of the case with pels if Zion stays healthy
As a new zealander i wished i watched this, but it was at 12:20am in the morning. Sucks that B.I didnt have the best game
jonas isn’t the only big slow center in the league. Glad you mentioned that maybe there is some responsibility of the coaching staff to adapt to their personnel.
do you think willy at some point give more minutes to cody zeller over Jonas, because this team is DEFINITELY going to play better with cody on the floor.
I always said BI is a role player. If some of you believe he is better than Zion has lost your minds. Zion, would be wrecking these World games. BI, will be another Rudy Gay! A player that should have been great or one of the best at his position. And Steve Kerr is not a good coach, just has good players with the Warriors!
I'm confused because I feel bi is better than Ant he's a better Playmaker
🩷BI but he plays at a slower pace than USA teammates . pelicans starters has 2 mathotacle players 2 fast pace players then a mathotacle center in starting line up – will this work???
Plenty of games left for B.I to get 🔥 and lead….🏀🇬🇧

Ant Edwards and Brunson are not passing the ball at all. That’s why the starters are struggling.
