It's possible some of our core young players may not be around to start the 2019-20 season. If you could keep only one of these players who would it be?
BI
Lonzo

Fortunately, nonsensical polls like this reveal nothing. Why consider make-believe scenarios at all ? |

Kuz is the only proven consistent player. BI is trash, and so is Lonzo. |

Of those three:
1. Lonzo
2. Kuzma
3. BI
Harder to figure out with Hart and Zubac in the mix. |

I'm sure the heated results will fluctuate from game to game, player to player in LG Land. |

On a team with no Lebron, Lonzo. On a team with lebron Kuz. That trade BI for PG13 looks mighty good right now. |

Kuzma is the most polished player right now... but I think Ingram and Lonzo will probably end up better.
I can see them able to duplicate Kuzma's short range scoring more than Kuzma will ever develop Lonzo's court vision or Ingram and Zo's defensive abilities.
Now if Kyle upgrades his three back to his rookie year or better... his offense becomes all star quality and can make up for his less than stellar defense.
It's a tough call to trade any of them for me.
I agree with what Goodrich said that I wouldn't trade more than one of them for AD. I'd try to make Hart the second piece. |

has to be Kuzma. The other guys have a higher ceiling but nothing is guaranteed. _________________ (bleep) Kawhi |

Yeah I love the other two, but I chose Kuzma because I believe deep down this organization is in win now mode, and they should be. |

+1 for win now; otherwise, trade Lebron and vets. |

Kinda how I see it as well.. Which is why I chose Kuz.
I think he has a higher floor than Ingram and Ball. He's also 2 years older which should be accounted for.
I guess this all boils down to which is of more value, greater unrealized potential or assurance of current value. |

Why is it so hard to fathom that maybe Kuzman is and will continue to be a better player than Ingram? I see no direct evidence that Ingram will surpass kuzma as far as proficiency and skillset applied to the game. I don't know why fans rely so much on speculation as opposed to what is evident tangible and right in front of us |
