Its stupid not to play him. He started the year off hot l, but now they'd rather play Naji

Naji deserves to play. Hawkins can be a really good player but he has to at least try to defend. Right now it’s like the Pels are playing 4 on 5 on defense when he’s on the floor.

Just like they have to play 4 on 5 on offense with those guys. Did you see Memphis absolutely ignore Herb/Jose/Dyson/ Naji as spacers? Doesn't matter what percentages they have next to their name, teams will never respect them.

More likely, Pels trying to showcase players in anticipation of a trade that’ll remove the logjam of wings.

Naji does not deserve the minutes hes getting im sorry. Not saying hes not playing well overall but Herb and Dyson give you what Naji does. No one on this team gives you volume movement shooting like Hawkins.

OR - Hawkins' stock is so high right now, you bench him as not to devalue his potential trade worth

I am not in favor of a Hawkins trade - but he has lottery trade value and we dont play him
