I agree with you about the lack of a point guard and CJ's limitations. I agree with you regarding Willie's WTF offense. But, Ingram spends literally zero effort probing the paint. And while he makes some nice passes to cutters, he fails to see the cutter, or ignores the cutter, the vast majority of the time.

The only way Ingram was going to maximize this team was to become a point guard looking to facilitate first, while also being a willing spot up shooter. He doesn't want to do either of those things. Because of this, he has more value to this team as a trade asset then he does as a player.

But then Zion gets healthy, loses 30 pounds and suddenly BI needs to become a 3 and D wing. But wait, Zion just injured a finger and will be out for 2 weeks. Ingram, go be a point guard again!

BI does NOT need to be a PG. He needs to be a scorer. That's why we need a point guard and not another scorer who can only guard point guards. The biggest thing this team needs is consistent health and effort from Zion. Without that, any roster built around Zion is destined to fail.
