Yes, another star player would make the starting 5 strong as all get-up. But is that what puts us over the edge? I’’d argue depth is not getting as much talk as warranted.

Zion is a splash, and if healthy an absolute game changer. But is there a more conservative play with New Orleans that make us stronger and deeper?

#3, Nas, Keon

…for

#14, Trey Murphy, Herb Jones, Dyson Daniels

Dame would have a defensive-minded backup

Murphy gives us deadly 3pt shooting and a possible starting SF

Jones is a defensive stopper

We can even still flip Ant & 23 (or Nurk) for something if so desired

Depth strong, added 3 pt shooting, much improved defense
