Detroit You bytch Ass nikka
He didn't put up the numbers but he was certainly more successful on the court in terms of winning his team games when he was out there. Your definition of good is what matters in that question.
nikka Joel didn't play AT ALL his first 2 years :russ:, there is absolutely nothing to be debating here.

How does it make sense to Stan the fukk out of one historically great injury prone player who was literally a worse player than Zion 4 years into his career; but shyt on Zion for a lesser amount of the same career trajectory.

That's the tendency of a bytch nikka. Everybody here knows that nikka @Gil Scott-Heroin is a bytch, don't shyt on your own name defending this pink ass hoe nikka.

I assumed you would pick up and utilize the two years Joel started playing......I assumed incorrectly.

Once again I don't know what you mean by worse? Worse counting stats? Worst what? By most metrics that define winning basketball Embiid has been more impactful on the court than Zion.

In 16/27 he played 31 games and the team went 28-64, Zion had MUCH better numbers though I do remember Philly being much better when he played vs when he didn't. He still loses every conversation vs Zion about year 1.

2nd year he played 63 games, team went 52-30, this was with a Ben Simmons the NBA didn't know to defend yet, the team was still good without Joel. Zion once again has MUCH better numbers without the team success.

There is no debate in a 4th year player not being as good as a 2nd year player. We got injuries and minute restrictions for both players, though Joel had a coach that was there for a long time and helped build "the process". New Orleans has been a team freestyling everything. 2 different situations :yeshrug:.


If Zion comes back and is no longer an automatic 25+ppg, then you nikkas can dawg bro all y'all want. As long as the nikka is putting up historic numbers I do t want to hear that shyt. Embid didn't get the same criticism and his injury situation was much worse, AND STILL IS.

The thing is as much as it's Zion's responsibility to stay in shape, the situation is made so much worse by the Pelican's indulging him way too much because they're shook he's going to leave, so they handle him with kid gloves.

Any franchise with their shyt together would clamp this shyt down. But the whole organization is a complete fukking mess. You couldn't have picked a worse team for him to go to.

Bro how you not gonna have smoke for Zion getting fat? Even with the broken foot he could have watched his diet and did low impact exercises.
