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

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.
