Agree with your assessment of Zeke. I have been half afraid that his playing time lately was an effort to showcase him and raise his trade value. But I like him for the next few years because he is working on his game and is improving, if not by leaps and bounds at least steadily and perceptibly. There is no guarantee of a championship this year even if we have the capability. But there is also no reason that we can't be championship competitive for the next 3-4 years, given the ages of key players. No need to mortgage a bright future.
