you could make an argument that RJ Barrett a better pro than Zion at this point
Pretty wild
That would be a pretty easy argument to make considering Barrett has played at least a season and some change worth of games more than Zion has. Best ability is availability.

He's taken a large step forward this year too with Scottie Barnes out. He is showing great potential
Raps got a few decent wings coming up

A rare case where a player's natural talent is generational but doesn't have the mentality to be great. One of the greatest athletes in NBA history with 0 work ethic or discipline.

That's the only way we got to this point

New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson has suffered a right hamstring strain and is expected to be re-evaluated in the coming weeks, sources tell ESPN.

Whatever good he is when healthy, it's becoming clear that he can't stay healthy at all.

I just read he had 3 different injuries in 4 recently missed games. What the hell is that. It's a shame because American players need the new generation to reach the elite levels. Bron, Curry and KD aren't gonna be for too long. Paris Olympics was their last dance as far as that tournament. The new generation players have too many injury prones.

I don't follow the NBA closely anymore but man....how come teams don't trade star players more like in the NFL. What benefit does NO gain from going through this every season? Trade him.
Because players of Zion's ability don't come around too often, and they sure as hell don't ever wanna go to N.O. as a free agent.

The real crime here is, how they enabled his bad habits and didn't see this coming from Day 1. They should've altered his game the moment they drafted him, getting him to drop weight, forcing him to become a more perimeter-based player instead of playing in the paint all the time. His body was a ticking timebomb and nobody did anything to stop it from going off.

Everybody around him failed him.
