I have long said that there were three players on this team who I consider untouchable....Zion, BI, and JAX, because of his athleticism and potential. (I also said in his rookie year that JAX was so raw, that he should be sent to Erie to learn the game.) Now that we are three years into the 2019 draftees' careers, I feel compelled to say that there is now only one player on the team who I consider untouchable.
