I'm not gon say its over for him because as I've said before...it took guys like Payton and Kidd a few years to really reach their potential.

I look at Zo like a QB who needs an offense crafted around him and forces him to throw a lot. Zo just doesn't have the personality to take over unless the circumstances change.

Kyrie took over (good or bad) his rookie year and didn't fear playing on a LeBron team. Mentally thought he was just as good.

Ideally tho Zo needed a few years out of the spotlight and truly just given a franchise. Somewhat like the Hawks with Trae Young. Just going out there learning on the fly and seeing what he can/can't do.

He couldn't do that his rookie year under Luke and Lakers pressure. Last year he was too content watching LeBron.

The shame is whats going on in New Orleans because as long as Jrue is there he's not going to get those chances to run the show. BI is flourishing because he's forced in the spotlight (its a good thing Zion got hurt...it allowed BI to establish himself)

Zo...might take a 3rd team unless things start changing when Zion comes back.
In an ideal world he would have benefitted from no spotlight and just played ball/got better
Outside of his first year, he really hasn't had the opportunity to be the main ball handler. And whenever he does decide to get the ball, he decides to just chuck 3s. He needs to change his mentality and improve his inside game, right now him being Rubio would be a blessing:snoop:

Zo just needs to stay healthy. He has already missed almost 10 games this season.
