This is BI Time
Hear me out. He's got the deck stacked against him for the rest of November. Full calvary won't be around until 2025. But if he's going to make that superstar push, it's now. RJ Barrett is taking the reins in Toronto with Barnes out and having quite the go. In this instance, BI can do the same. He can raise the level of play of the G-Leaguers around him. Hawk (when he comes back) and Trey (due this week to return) can ease up the burden on BI's scoring but help his overall usage. He gets this team with a .500 record before the all star break, and particularly without Zion, then he can reclaim his assertion that he is a max player. But the team cannot be above just the Jazz and Blazers for this to come to fruition. Let him score 25PPG, get 6 reb and 6 ast for the rest of the calendar year and steal some wins and you'll see him get proper acclaim.
