#2: Do not, under any circumstances, stagger Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey

Monty Williams did the unthinkable in the last two games, briefly staggering Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey so that one of his best two offensive players was always on the floor.

What?!? BRING BACK THE ALL BENCH UNITS!

Keeping Ivey out there without Cade might help him improve as a primary ballhandler and scorer. We can't have that.

Using Ivey with other combinations of bench guards may help to get them better looks, and what about Malachi Flynn? Are you just going to act like he doesn't exist?

This is how you end up with the second-worst record in the league instead of the worst. What is Williams thinking?
