It's an interesting projection and I can see how they manipulate data. I prefer old school and the eye test. But this has value.
Did you see Ingram? They have him peaking this year and next, then a steady decline. His numbers really never go that high. His defense must pull him down quite a bit.
This might be the year to make a call on him and Zion. If they aren't working, sell high and reload around Zion (one last gasp)..

Ingram had the lowest defensive RAPTOR score on the team last season -- lower even than Bledsoe's. We all know that SVG tried to help fix BI's defense, and we all know those efforts not only didn't work, but destroyed their relationship.
Willie Green is known as a defensive coach, and I think that improving BI's defense is his single biggest opportunity to impact the team's record. Ingram has to significantly improve defensively if the Pelicans are ultimately going to evolve into a contender.
EDIT: To think about it another way, 538's computer thinks that Lonzo Ball will be a better overall player than BI this season.
EDIT 2: What's really interesting about Ingram is that his RAPTOR defensive rating went way down last season. As in, all the work that SVG put into improving BI's defense actually backfired. Or, perhaps more charitably, BI was ill-suited to play SVG's style of defense.
