UPDATE: BI Likely to be Traded[Pel's Media expect a big push to move in Ingram in Early August]

Shooting isnt the only way bigs create space. There is an obvious need for more size, rebounding, and rim protection. He's also still 19. He's more advanced than Jaxson was at age 19.

He has a relatively short 7'2" wingspan, but he has the feet and vertical to make up for that.

He’s Jaxson Hayes now…. Not Jaxson Hayes when we drafted him. You’re right about that. He’s as useful on this team as a thumb on your elbow. Sorry. I don’t get this pick at all. The reason none of our bigs have worked around Z is the same. If they can’t space and shoot consistently…. They are just in his way.

I mean if the plan is to G league him or give him small mins with the no Zion unit and just let him rim run and rebound…. Yeah. Ok. The problem is Filipowski was there - you passed and he could have fit and gave you real mins this year along Z.

Just weird IMO
