New Orleans has to be near the top of the list. Assuming Z is the guy--and that is a big assumption--then we learned that Engram and McCollum as the 2nd and 3rd guy do not get it. Every regular season everyone gets hyped about New Orleans: look at the length, athleticism, depth, talent and they are on a win streak! . New Orleans is the up and coming team to watch! But guess what? They are not. They cannot get it done when competition revs up in the playoffs. They simply are not there. McCollum and Engram are simply not big-time players. So either Zion is going to get frustrated and get out or they have to do something. (Of course, the other option is to decide that Zion is not the guy and they should sell while the stock is high after a good finish. Either way, this team is not going to get over the hump.)
