Ironically, Greg Oden played 81 games over 3 years (including none his first season), to put that into perspective.
Joel Embiid played much less over his first three seasons, to bring up a counter argument. :yeshrug:

Embiid didn't have such an incredibly hard time managing his weight.

Zion got a serious eating issue.

Joel is the extra rare exception to this type of situation where it somewhat worked out. Also, Embiid can run out there with a fraction of his athleticism and still have an impact on both ends because he's big as fukk (II). Zion doesn't have that luxury

Funny enough, Zion and Embiid are basically the same weight now, except Embiid is about half a foot taller :huhldup:

I would trade him

Imagine the return NO can get for him. As crazy as it sounds, his value would be higher now than would be after he signs a contract
