BI looks half asleep most of the time. Especially during crunch time. Although he is talented, he’s not gonna inspire or motivate anyone else.
Zion is starting to show some frustration with the meltdowns at the end of games and may start being more vocal and get in some players grill.
Lonzo is quite and non vocal.
Bledsoe - no.
Adams - don’t know but I don’t think so.
We need a vocal, in your face, refuse to lose 2 or 1. Lonzo could play off the ball.
You inject a verbal Alpha personality into that mix and I think they win more of those close games.
Not sure how they do it but they need to get this done somehow.

it's probably the pelican that waddles around like a Rottweiler.

People love to say this. I’m guilty of it, too, because the idea of it is great. But realistically, how many of these guys are even in the league who actually move the needle talent-wise?
CP
LeBron
Jimmy Butler
Westbrook
Kyle Lowry
Dame? I’m sure he has the respect but he doesn’t seem like a super vocal guy.
Steph
Luka
Maybe there are a few more that I’m missing, but it’s not like you can just go out and find these guys on the street.

you have to draft him.
no one trades that guy.
its killer elites.
demanding on defense and high performance on offense.
hall of famers.
Rick barry for instance.
critical of dumbassery and capable of dominating on offense and a serious defender.
Jerry Sloan.
in your face defense and solid offense and amazing courage inside against much bigger players. inspirational
you see one in NCAA tourney and you do what's necessary to get him.
and Sloan was D II.
so scouting lower division and euros.

Zion will be this guy sooner than you think from what he's shown me, and personally, I want my super star to be the alpha, not some other random roster spot that is filled by someone partly because they're an alpha.
It's not like AD who is beta to the core, Zion is going to have a LeBron-like chokehold on whatever franchise he's playing for if this keeps up.

Zion will be that guy, once he becomes a better defender.
Zion can't be that guy when he stands around clueless and lets little Dame Lillard get a key offensive rebound right in front of him.
But Zion's defense is improving. He'll get there.

You need someone to create something out of nothing in crunch time.
Zion can't do that now because he is allowed to be mauled when he's just handling the ball. If the refs ever start calling fouls fairly for Zion, he's the unstoppable force you're looking for.
Ingram can get his own shot when ever he wants it but has so far wilted under the pressure of crunch time. But getting a good shot off is a big component so you can't rule him out as an answer yet.
Kira has shown elite, defense bending speed. He might be able to hit his own shots off of that, but I'd look for him to use it to set up Zion and Ingram.
In a few more years those 3 should be all you need at the end of games to break most defenses.
