re: Josh Hart with 23 points in his Blazers debut

I agree that Zion is probably the better bet, even though his height/reach is not ideal. If you've got so so perimeter defenders, you need back end help to clean up the mess. And that doesn't mean Zion needs to be a Gobert or Draymond, but just in the right place at the right time often enough to help teammates. Ingram would be interesting there, but he's never been able to put on the weight to be a 4

Also agree on outscoring teams, so it's not like the Pels need to be GS. Just be average on defense and have a great offense and you're cooking.

Part of this is also thinking about the team over the next 3 years or so. If you believe Zion/Ingram can work well enough defensively and you believe in Murphy developing, roster possibilities are wide open if your core is Zion/Ingram/Herb and a player like Murphy as a solid 3 and D wing. Can go in a lot of different directions.
