It’s kinda crazy how Zion has basically become an afterthought (alien.top)

I remember the hype coming out of duke, how teams were tanking for him, the “generational” talent/prospect talks. How by this time Zion would either be the straight up face of the league or one of them. Definitely a top ten player and more than likely a top 5 player by now. That basically didn’t happen, he’s been surpassed by other young players since. I legit remember several Who would you rather have going forward Luka or Zion threads. It’s crazy

No, the big part of Zion hype is that he was American and played for Duke. Not in the same tier as Wemby as a prospect in any way except for the hype they had before they entered the league.

AD was the best prospect since lebron. Zion was the best prospect since AD
