We aren't starting Zion at the 5 either. We need a big body 5 that can play when we play the big 5's in the league. Zion needs to be able to grab rebounds and go, or let others grab them and get out quickly. I don't want him worrying about blocking out Jokic. Favors is perfect for that role.


Well, I was really thinking about continuing to start Jaxson Hayes. Stats suggest that Hayes is now a league-average center, with above-average rim protection and OREB skills. And he's getting better all the time. I was simply envisioning a scenario where Favors is traded and Zion plays 12-15 minutes a game at center. But I keep forgetting that Zion is going to have restricted minutes for a while, so that plan wouldn't work well anytime soon.

I know Jaxson is doing well, and i want him to keep playing, but we will always need a big body 5 for matchup purposes.
And i do want Zion playing the 5 at times, and when that happens, having a guy like Covington to play the 4 would be perfect, b/c he is the prototypical small ball 4 as far as size and quickness goes, and is better at that role than Kenrich is. I think Kenrich is a SF all the way, as is Ingram. You could put Covington on AD and get away with it. Kenrich could not handle AD at all. Jrue did better on him.
