It’s worth noting that he’s also the only guy on the team with a good looking shooting form. Imo

BI may have more potential but I'd say Ball because of fit.

Ball fits much better in a Lebron-AD core than BI.

Ingram. Zo a close second. But I like Ingram even with all of his faults. He's good for at least 60-70 games a season. After his atrocious rookie season, he came back his sophomore year with improved handles and the ability to attack the hoop. An offseason afterwards he implemented a midrange game. I only expect him to work on increasing his range after this season. Point being, he has improved year by year and is only 21/22 years old.

Ball is the best. But Kuzma gives us 6+ million more in cap space.

Lonzo and Ingram both offer unique skills... Lonzo with his elite vision and defensive aptitude... Brandon for his solid defense blended with his offensive skills with his 7' 3" wingspan.

I'd take BI mostly because I think LaVar will be a pain in the ass to deal with when his cost control ends.

I don't pick Rondo because he doesn't really fit the poll and because he's getting old... but I love him.

Kuzma and Hart are both good if they are shooting the three at a high efficiency... if not they are more easily replaced.

You can say, well what if they start shooting well... but then you could go and say the same about Ingram or Zo.

Based on what's left; every team needs a good young PG. ..... Zo.

I think it's more likely that we could trade Mo and Svi to Dallas for Harrison Barnes and help Mark accomplish his dream of this

Even though your joking, Dallas ain't trading Luka for a 34 yr old Lebron.

With Lebron and AD we're going to need shooters. Lebron is going to play point, anyway. So whoever the hell can shoot and defend opposing PGs. That falls on Lonzo, so in the long run he will be the most valuable asset of all the young guys, IMO. B.I. I feel is going to finally take that big step ahead next year. People in the media are down on him but the guy is still just 21 years old. My favorite of the three is Kuzma. But I feel he can be replaced.

I'm concerned about Lonzo's durability and being injury prone. Last year he had multiple various injuries and he missed 30 games. This year he could miss 25+ games when it's all said and done. I would keep Kuz because he's a flat out scorer and fits well with Lebron. He would likely come off the bench for offensive fire power. Also we have him on a very cheap rookie contract for 3 years.

I piked Lonzo but I'm concerned about his durability as well and that should definitely be a factor. And I think his strange/stiff movement makes me worry that injuries are more likely, but I'm no physician.

The first one I would choose to go is Lonzo. We should have never even drafted him. The fact that he leads this poll shows me most people on here are clueless about basketball.

I don't have a strong feeling about this.

Lonzo and Ingram have the most potential, but I'm not sold either will be anything special. I think it's possible we've already see the best of Kuz, but he's on the most desirable contract.

I think Ingram has all-star potential and he's close to making that jump. He's still finding himself on offense; I think he could be one of the best mid-range shooters in the league and be a good defender.

I'd pick Lonzo but I think he's injury prone.

I put Kuzma, just because he is the only one of the four that can shoot. Until we can replace with another forward who can shoot, then Kuzma is one I hold on to.

Kuzma. Lonzo can’t shoot or steal healthy, BI can’t shoot and is not progressing. Hart can’t defend, ZU just isn’t that great.

Kuzmas ceiling may very well be below BI and Zos, but I like that he’s not afraid of the moment and has a thirst to be great. Kuzma May never be a star, but it won’t be for lack of trying or lack of caring, id rather have that any day over just potential.

There’s something I don’t understand. When Ingram tried to make big shots but failed, people call him a bust. When Kuzma tried to replicate the same thing with the same result, people give him credit. Is it because he takes less dribble?

Ingram has the highest ceiling but Kuzma fits the best next to LBJ. Ball is in the middle for both aspects.
