2. Front-Court Power

Zion Williamson played in just 24 games as a rookie, but he looked like the real deal. He averaged 22.5 points and 6.2 rebounds per game on 58.3% from the field and 42.9% from three-point range.

If healthy, Williamson can take over the league.

A trade for Turner would really solidify the front-court. This would be a combination that could battle with the likes of anyone down low. Turner could also act as a mentor to Williamson.

He will enter his second season basically a rookie. Williamson was limited because of injury and is still a raw player. Turner has a similar skill-set, minus some athleticism, and could show Williamson the ropes.

New Orleans is in a rebuild and could use a veteran type player to act as a leader. Turner would be able to come in and be a voice on and off the floor for a young team.
