I think we kind of have an idea what Z's ceiling is, even though his development has been slowed by injuries and I expect this year to be his best year.
I strongly suspect Miles has a significantly higher ceiling than Z, so even though Z is playing quite well (apart from fouling), I would give Miles the starter's role to allow him to develop over the course of the season. I think Miles could be very good by the end of the season.
His shot, his coordination and his hops all seem better than Z. Given his hops, if he does prove to have good coordination Miles could end up being an outstanding shot-blocker.
And if he can consistently hit a 10-12 foot jumper, that gives us something Z doesn't have.
