Since he is not a threat from outside, there is basically little choice but give him the ball. Ball is kind of good fit next to him, as he can play off ball. Big question for them is, if it is worth paying most of cap for the core of Zion-Ingram-Ball, that can't even get in the play-in. These last 20 or so games are very important for future of a couple of players, per Hollinger. Ball is one of them.

Has Zion shown that he can do anything on defense...even flashes? I'll use Luka as an example...everyone thought he was going to be a defensive liability...but he flashed he can play defense in the bubble and he is flashing it more this year. I am guessing Luka saves his energy for offense in regular season....but he can definitely play defense. Dont know if Zion has shown any hope that he can play that side of the ball.
Yeah...everyone on here says Ball seems perfect for that team. I guess Lonzo and the fam want him on a larger market team? If Lonzo develops a dependable 3 shot like JKidd did at end of his career...Lonzo will be a bargain at 20M per.
