Did the Zion buzz come and go that fast?

Like I said, yall just hate this kid. No talking sense into people who don't like him and want to see him fail.

 

hold on who said he was the next LeBron?!


And whoever thought it was a good idea to pair Bledsoe next to Ball needs to get fired ASAP

 

literally EVERYONE

bunch of people thought he’d take the torch from Bron (on here and the media)

or at the very least a can’t miss superstar

his game isn’t that exciting in my opinion

he’s still young tho but

 

What zion needs is a bucks style offense where he got shooters around him

 

Like I said either it’s going to be Luka or committee

 

He was drawing ratings and engagement when he played last year. Then the pandemic hit and the momentum hit a brick wall. The way we treated him in the bubble did no favors.

This year I think he's been fine. However he has a lot to work on. And he's not delivering those "flash" plays consistently that the casuals clamor for.

With that said, the hyperbole here about him is funny. But soon as we drafted him I knew he'd have a magnifying glass on him and that a portion of people would pick his every thing apart so I was ready for it.

 

Fancy name tho!

 

saying it’s not his fault whatsoever is overstating the point a bit...defensively he’s been objectively horrible and that certainly has played a part in the Pel’s struggles...but yeah, he’s 20 years old and not even 40 games into his nba career... he has ample room and time for improvement lol

 

More than these guys did it seems

 

I can imagine what the narratives were on here and SOHH during that time

 

I didn’t even respond . He lost all credibility with that foolishness.

 

He’s actually a way more efficient player than I ever thought he would be. Problem is that people are looking for the next bron or even a luka type impact from Zion. Dude unfortunately don’t get the touches or have the type of game where u want him running the whole offense. The pels spread the ball very well, and Zion plays in unison with his team and scores when needed.... I will say that someone’s definitely gotten in his head about jumping so high all the damn time. He clearly is coasting athletically speaking. Most likel only going 75%.

 

Pels are fun to watch wether excitement from Zion or Brandon Ingram TF hes damn near a Kevin Durant level in 2-3 years if his game improves easily

 

He doesn't have the energy to carry on offense like that
