This organization some mid and Zion isn't yet who people want him to be. I'm an admitted skeptic that he's ever as great as people project, but thats neither here nor there...
The League came up with this play in thing to gerrymander this dude in and force him on everybody instead of allowing him to organically blossom into The Guy, and now two years in a row its left egg on their face. Hopefully this is the last of this dumb ass play in concept. People acknowledge stardom when its evident, we don't want that shyt forced on is...
Nobody was lined up the last two years like "damn I really hope Y1/Y2 Zion Williamson is in the playoffs, it'll make the tournament so much more enjoyable"...
Let this cat take his growing pains the way he supposed to. This forcing of Zion onto The Culture is wack, All-Star returns which obviously say alot about fan support, proved that he isn't quite as popular as the NBA wants him to be, and I'm not surprised. They forcing this kid on heads in ways I've never seen before. We not fukking with duke like that, let lil homie take his lumps and earn his keep in this grown man game instead of trying to deliver everything to him on a platter he hasn't earned...
Another year in, maybe he gets the steel to tell the organization he'll try to play thru a friggin finger fracture when he's trying to get the squad to the playoffs. I dont hold it against him this year, he's young with a listless organization and he don't know what he know, but Year 3 I'm checking his competitive fire. You're not allowing yourself to be benched for an injury that can be played thru when your team is fighting to make a playoff seed...
