So they shouldn't have attempted to correct his biomechanics to try and extend his career?

To me I just think his body was/is a ticking time bomb period, trying to stick him in these "crucial games" would just accelerate that timeline. Zion needs to do better at controlling his weight which he should be able to do with or without the Pelicans.
Hard disagree

If you are afraid to play him, shouldn't have drafted him. That's the bottom line

Hard disagree with what? He came in the league hurt and proving the injury/weight concerns correct. Memphis, New York, Atlanta, Cleveland would've had the same issue. All those teams shouldn't draft him either then.

I just won't believe in the health until I see it. A 7'5 dude running around full tilt for 30 mins is gonna need a lot of load management. Might be a Zion type deal where when we see him he lives up to the hype but his body just ain't built for the grind.

meh, Vic has been extremely hyped. If not the most hes the second most in the last 20 or so years. More than Wiggins and D Rose...close to Lebron.
more than Zion in my opinion.

Zion's hype was just different because he was a human highlight reel while Vic is more fundamental

Vic will be a good, all star caliber player but I simply am not sure he will have the longevity unless they load manage him a lot and early on. Max 30 mins a game

Hope they don’t try to play him at Center. He won’t be able to bang like that. Can Sochan play Center?

He's gonna have to get bulky, along with Chet cause they're gonna both get their bones cracked with the big dudes in the league.
