Zion is an above average player and an Alpha; BI is a an above average player but is a NOT an Alpha. Everyone else are average NBA players that can occasionally have a game or two of playing above average but they slip back into the average status. I'd love to keep Lonzo, Bledsoe, Hart, Redick, etc...but they are all role players. Role players are necessary, but we need another above average player. Somebody who can take over a game. He could be a 1 or a 2. I don't care! We need an alpha! Trade our picks and some of these role players and get us an Alpha!
