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

Isnt he playing good this year?

[–] Gunsiffat@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

No. Lower pts, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, ft%, and 10% LOWER efg. Anyone saying he's playing "fine" is probably comparing him to a decent player and not an extremely hyped #1 pick.

He is playing pretty well, but his defense is terrible and he's not really like a top 5 offensive player right now. He started slow last season too, and basically after getting into shape he became a monster. We're hoping that happens this season too.

Ppl here are acting like he didn't have them on a 10 game win streak and battling for 1st in the west MID LAST SEASON.
