This year, now, right now, with the data we have, have they been consistently starter calibre players?
No. So that's why I said we have two surefire NBA starters, in Ingram and Zion. Adams might start on some teams but not on others and definitely not with his current level of play. Same is true of Bledsoe. Note, by the way, that it's not true that they've both been starters their entire careers; Bledsoe, for example, has played 680 games and has only started 517 of them: almost a quarter of his career has been off the bench.
