re: Willie Green “We will look to get the ball more in Zion’s hands at the start of games”

It's a simple concept. To maximize Zion and BI as a tandem, Zion has to be the ball handler when they are on the floor together. If you take the ball out of Zion's hands, you essentially take him out of the possession/play since none of our players can maximize Zion's impact offball. Ingram has shown he can be effective off ball and as a bailout option.

That's not really the case, you most certainly can have BI initiate with Zion on the court. You're selling Zion short if you think he and the team can only be effective with him initiating the offense. Zion is a pretty heady player.
You can have Zion as a screener, post option, or baseline cutter without him initiating. The most effective action will directly involve BI/Zion, but we'll likely see the same action with CJ/Zion and soon Hawk/Zion. I do suspect the coaching staff and players are holding back some wrinkles in this offense, and we'll see more diverse action as the season progresses.
