Brilliant Coaching Move

Hear me out on this…. I think the Zags have been playing great. They are off to their best start in Zag history. I won’t go into what rank they should be, but I think most people will agree that they should be somewhere in the top 10.

But what I propose is that the zags move Wesley to the bench for KD (or even Melson). There are 2 reasons for this:

1: One thing I have noticed is that the zags seem to let other teams creep back into the game. Usually it’s because Melson, KD, and Sabonis come in as subs and just don’t produce like the initial starting 5. Having Wesley come off the bench would bring a legitimate scorer, leader, and go-to guy off the bench.

2: I think Wesley has been struggling with his identity as of late and forcing up unnecessary shots. With Karno becoming more a focal point within these last 10 games and Pangos/KW delivering like Pizza Hut, I just don’t think he can find a rhythm because he isn't getting that many touches. If he was playing with the 2nd unit more, I think he could become more aggressive on offensive than he has been.

I think Wesley is a great addition to this team and one of the better players (definitely deserving of a starting 5 spot). Having him come off the bench could benefit him and the team more. I don’t think his minutes should be replaced by anyone, just his rotation into the game
