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

The craziest thing is enes kanter was 100% right

He's Julius Randle with hops. And Julius at least shoots. Zion has Ben Simmons shot chart. Paint only.

Zion's first game he hit 4 3s in a row and people were calling him Curry.

[–] Proximity_Intel@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He has 23 career 3pt shots made.

Ben Simmons has 5.

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

Yeah and Ben Simmons has 323 nba games played.

Zion has 123.

Ben is WAY worse of a shooter than Zion.

If I remember correctly, in his rookie debut he nailed 3 consecutive 3pointers. Lol
