I know we like Oso but if we can't move off Nurkic he should absolutely be playing the bench minutes over Oso and Plumlee especially in good or neutral matchups.
I mean there's obviously something else going on, but if we're able to move Grayson to the starters, and somehow some way pick up another bench wing, the bench is going to Tyus/Beal/Royce/someone/Nurkic (or whatever center fits the matchup better) and like...that's not actually bad at all. Like even if you don't pick up another wing, that's some skill off the bench. No athleticism but if you get another wing hopefully they can run and jump. And Oso can take the minutes if we need more athleticism from the center.
Anyway, just my two cents.
I expect he'll probably be brought in once he's back from the flu. I think he's been kept out due to sucking ass and also for trade purposes. Once we're past the trade deadline, I could see us giving him spot minutes.
