I'm still trying to figure why Lonzo and Bledsoe start together. Their styles of play don't really mesh well alot of the time. As bad of a coach Gentry was/is, he at least knew Zo and Zion are a match made in heaven for a fast pace offense.Keep in mind Brandon Ingram Won MIP and was an allstar partially because he benefited from Red Eye Al's system. Griffin compared Zion to a Ferrari but our offense now moves like a Parade Float. We need half court sets I get it, we needed a defensive anchor I get it. But my question is what is the benefit to have both Lonzo and Bledsoe on the court at the same time?

The fit is fine philosophically speaking. Bledsoe is a penetrator and Lonzo is a spacer, he's just a bad spacer.

Bledsoe has been taking a backseat when he plays with the starters. He looked great against the Kings when he was playing as free as I've seen him play.
