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

His scoring and efficiency are way down this year. Sadly I think the age of his generational athleticism is over. He simply couldn’t take care of his body enough.

Also I know it’s a small sample size but he just doesn’t look as explosive anymore.
