For sure they want to get Brunson experience, but if Barea weren’t coming off an Achilles injury and were a couple of years younger, Brunson would be learning from the bench right now. When I say health I mean load management and preservation, not that Barea is still injured. This team should be thinking about transitioning into more of a win now mode after the start to the season, than maybe they originally planned in my opinion.
