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

As soon as I saw Duke struggle with Tacko Fall in the tourney I knew Zion, Barrett and Cam were all going to be massive busts. Role player is the ceiling for each of them.

RJ is not a bust…Zion is only potentially bust due to fitness…cam is a bust

RJ weighs down that New York team so badly. They won’t move forward until RJ is sent packing. All those shots he misses could be going to someone else.

Are you nuts? He’s the engine of the team, without him they look hopeless, with him they look like world beaters this season.
