I wish the Pelicans could have got the second pick of the draft in 19 instead of number 1

Ja is so good. Even with all his craziness I’d take him over Zion any day

With our luck, he would've fallen in love with the culture out in New Orleans East lol

Agreed. We were hamstrung and had to take Zion, but having to "settle" for Ja really worked out in Memphis' favor.

I don't know why we wish we could get this player who will never be good enough to win a title as a #1, seems weird.

Ja isn't that dude, he's not winning anything unless he's in a supporting role, he's not a #1. Not even close.

But would he fit better with our squad talent than Zion…his style of play ‘might’ be more conducive to our depth being successful.

One thing is for certain… he is a dog, he’s in shape, he wants to win. Thats 3 things…

I don’t blame Zion for not being a fit. He’s not a fit because our coaching staff doesn’t know how to use him.

He's also not good enough to win a title as your best player.


So I don't get all these wishes that we had drafted him. Seems it would make more sense to wish we traded December 2023 Zion for a monster haul instead, as that would make more sense than hitching our wagon to another dude who isn't good enough but making a shite ton of money.

That’s probably the correct angle.

Frustrating all round

And to this point in their careers neither has accomplished anything so the point is?
