This no-jumpshot-havin'-ass muh'fukka is not moving the needle like that. In Year 5 he still refuses to take anything outside of the paint, even when he can't generate anything inside -

Back-to-back performances against the T'Blazers and he's getting his shyt punched in over and over, not even showing any situational nor court awareness to adjust and find a different avenue of offense. This shouldn't be happening this deep into his career. It's something that should've been corrected long ago; compounded with his inability to stay on the floor, what hope does he ever have of becoming who he was projected to be?

The next LeBron. The next generational superstar. The face of the new era.

I told his apologists what the deal with him was since Day 1, that he needed to develop a jumpshot to be a success, but they refused to listen, either turning a blind eye or making up a fictive in their head about what they thought his game was.

Now y'all learning the hard way.

Look, this experiement will be over in 2 years either way. My issue is that the Pelicans might not have anything to sell to the fans.

before we even have a conversation about his lack of offensive skills, let’s talk about his health. Nobody believes in this nikka simply because he can never stay on the court when it matters the most. Hes a bust simply for his injuries.
Well raw dogging Moriah (No Nyggas) Mills is bound to hit a nikka with a bunch of health related issues

roster doesn’t benefit his playstyle but he’s also just lazy, hasn’t improved since 2022 while the league caught up to all his tendencies and moves

He needs a change of scenery, maybe he will work better as the 2nd option on a team rather than first, him Trae might be fun to watch

And he's not the passer lebron is or the size Shaq is to make up for it
You too damn right.

I remember having a discussion with cats back in 2018 when they compared him to Shaq, and I couldn't fathom how they could compare the two. They thought his 6-7 self would just be as dominant inside, completely glossing over the fact that Shaq towered over nearly everyone and Zion is shorter than the majority of frontcourt players.

And while he definitely isn't on Bron's level as a playmaker, he still is a decent one, but the problem is, because he doesn't have any resemblence of an outside game, he can't utilize that part of his skillset properly. Teams don't treat him as a threat from the perimeter, and that shortens his scope for playmaking because he doesn't attract any attention when he's on the outside.

His game should've been remodelled the moment he came into the league, because now it's probably too late.
