Lonzo/Ingram/Zion all fit well with each other. Zion and Ingram as your 2 main stars and Lonzo that perfect fit for the both of them. I honestly have no idea why they drafted a big with 0 range at 8 last year (Hayes), then followed that up with a ball dominant guard in NAW. Then they followed it up this year with another PG in the lotto. Then you add in Bledsoe and Hill coming back in the trade. I honestly have no clue what they have been doing in the draft after taking Zion #1. They need to start swapping these young guys and picks for players that actually fit alongside Lonzo/Ingram/Zion.

I wonder if they are hesitant to pay Lonzo and that he might be on the move this season. I think we will know early in the season what SVG thinks of him.

With Zion and Ingram as your 1-2 punch with Adams and Hayes manning the Center when Zion isn't the center. All you need is guards. a 5 man lineup with the top two at the 4 & 5, will really open up the floor for Ingram and the new shooters you are putting around Zion.
