Zion's current streak of 20+ point games is the longest among rookies this season

Mind you he's still not in the best shape and is coming off a meniscus tear

Sounds like ROY to me

:mjgrin:
Ja been rightfully getting shine and I’m sure his Lead in the ROY Is comfy... but you know if Zion continues to play well this season and not miss significant time, it wouldn’t surprise me if they pulled a ..

Zion is Larry Johnson meets Charles Barkley with a splash of Shawn Kemp.

If he played all year he would have easily won ROY.

He needs to develop a mid range game and get to where he can knock down 15 footers with relative consistency. He also needs to work on his free throws.

Dude is definitely out of shape and is still eating in the league. Dude looks like he's about 300 pounds lumbering around out there.

RJ reminds me of a Larry Hughes type player.

A volume shooter slasher type that can be a solid all star player in the right situation, but he's not the type of guy you build around.
Maybe cause he’s a lefty and I remember him
Beasting in that one tourney. But I thought he could be a poor mans Harden obviously not near the shooter or even passer, but just a ball dominat heavy usage guy who can score and make plays a

But his Free throws and overall shooting touch and lack of playmaking is making me wonder. I mean he’s putting up 14 a game and showed flashes . But I expected a little more . Maybe the Fizdale situation or what.. dysfunctional ass franchise but it’s Still early for the YoungBul

His offensive game isn't nowhere near as polished as OKC Harden's in my opinion. You right his shooting and free throws leave a lot to be desired.

The Knicks are not a good franchise either which probably further hurts his development. The college game is a lot different and RJ is not a great athlete and he's a streaky shooter at best which is why I questioned his game.

Brett Brown is gone, maybe after the all star break.
Credit to him and front office for letting him withstand the process, but I could tell early on he wasn’t the kind of coach to take them over the top.

A Team like that needs a coach who was a player or someone well respected.. or maybe just someone who isn’t close to Luke Walton and Scott Brooks as the worst rotation coach in the league.
