They didn’t, just watched 3 second Twitter highlights and based a whole campaign of bitter hatred over them. Dude was 90th percentile or above in virtually every offensive statistic advanced and regular among every college player, from post ups to transition to PnR finisher AND ball handler.
Once his perimeter game tightens up its game over for the whole damn league. He don’t even need a 3 pointer; a floater that he can whip out for the 1 outta 50 shots he can’t finish around the rim or a mid range to punish teams who don’t help on him on defense when he crosses the 3 pt line to attack. Anything like that and there’s literally no solution to him defensively with how the league schemes and officiates defense nowadays.
Haters get those salty tears out while ya can, cause this hype train ain’t slowing down for any of y’all any time this upcoming decade
It's a shame Zion ended up in NO.
He would have set the garden on fire
Those dunks w/ the crowd's energy feeding him
There's still a chance he can have a reunion w/ his buddy Barrett in a couple of years
If Barrett turns out to be good, that could be the next great future duo.
Zion is playing a min 6-7 years in New Orleans, just like AD & CP3 did. He’s not going anywhere anytime soon
I've yet to see an overwhelming narrative that he can't dribble. Or is this one of your many straw man arguments?He cant dribble doe

yeah he always seems to be chillin tho in regards to attacking the basket and being more aggressive. He does it sometimes but eventually he gonna have to have that motor all game every game. He'll be holding himself back from reaching his full potential until he can attack consistency or at least attempt to

Just give it up on the Randle hate. You loss this arguments years ago move on take the L.
See, this is the problem when you only look at the surface [box score] numbers, and not what's actually taking place on the floor.
Julius spammed easy scoring opportunities off defensive breakdowns and in transition, which hindered the fluidity and functionality of the Pels offense. Any player with size/athleticism can score those sort of points. He did that because he knows he can't score against a set half-court defense. Meanwhile, Zach had to carry the #1 option load, up against the best perimeter defenders, and against set-defenses, on the regular, and he was creating for himself all over the floor - something which Julius is incapable of doing.
Nobody that's actually paying attention would ever suggest that Julius even comes close to LaVine; one is a 2nd/3rd option-type talent and the other is a role player.
Why are you speaking as if Julius was leading the team, and also wasn't surrounded by far superior players? I mean, really, what's the point of throwing this generic shyt at the wall in hopes that it sticks when you know damn well that Julius was far from a centerpiece that had the Pels winning 10 more games?
Julius would've been glued to the bench if Mirotic didn't go down injured.
Well, for starters, one man can only do so much (look at LeBron and the Lakers last season), and the Bulls dealt with a number of injuries, player-turnover, and a general lack of talent, where only the elite players would've elevated the team above where they performed last season. To use it as a reference point as if you swapped LaVine for Julius and he would've elevated them is some dishonest bullshyt.
These are the #s of the Bulls players that played 60+ games last season:
LaVine: 23 ppg
Felicio: 6 ppg
Harrison: 6 ppg
Lopez: 9 ppg
Arcidiacono: 6 ppg
Put LaVine on the Pels instead of Julius last season, and they would've had a far greater chance of making the playoffs.
There was no argument to lose since y'all buried yourselves long ago. I shouldn't expect anything less from someone that named themselves Dwight Howard.

I guess you missed the part where I said "a couple of years"
Zion did not look happy when NO drafted him and I wouldn't be happy either if I were him
If they still suck or are mediocre 6-7 years from now he's gone.
RJ will ask outta NY’s dumpster fire before his rookie scale extension is up just like Wristflaps did. Hopefully if he turns out good we’ll have some cap space to accommodate him :PierreUMad:

@Gil Scott-Heroin What’d I tell ya buddy, smoothness and scoring ain’t mean a thing if you don’t get the win. Pretty sure Randle won his preseason game too but that’s neither here nor there

:PierreUMad::PierreUMad:Dude is nice 
Lavine exited the game, late in the 3rd quarter, when the Bulls were up 98-78, and he never returned; the Bulls proceeded to lose a 20-point lead and the game when he was on the bench. Care to explain how he was responsible for them losing his team the game when he was the main reason they built a 20-point lead, and it was actually the second-unit that lost them the game?@Gil Scott-Heroin What’d I tell ya buddy, smoothness and scoring ain’t mean a thing if you don’t get the win.

Also, care to explain how Randle won his preseason game when he was a net-negative for them, and they performed better with Taj on the floor?
