zion's most impressive attribute is his really impressive ball-handling and passing/initiating of offense for his size which should be evident for those that watched this game and prior games. he looked like a point forward and is quite graceful and smooth despite how explosive he is. i see a souped/roided up draymond or julius randle at the next level.
Bolden is trash. I'm done with him
Don’t have a choice but to depend on him this year
i was really disappointed watching him. the 5 position is wide open and his to take by the horns this year, no excuses. there's no giles, amile jefferson, bagley or carter in his way to compete for minutes. he only has to beat out the spaz that is delaurier and the stiff that is vrankovic. but his body language was fatigued and he was a step slow on the regular. got his shot blocked like 3 times and just played w/ zero energy. he should be averaging 8-10 pts and 7+ boards this year, but I don't know if he has it mentally to put in the effort. he looks timid and I wonder if he even likes basketball. he has skill, but if he had javin's motor, he would be a terror defensively and gobble up rebounds and blocks ++ get dunks/putbacks, and otehr short hooks/jumpers on offensive. not having grayson is going to hurt him this year, b/c grayson was able to get some fire/hustle out of him and give him some confidence. a few more performances like that and javin is gonna start at the 5 or we go small w/ jack white w/ zion at the 4 and 5.
