Zion Williamson Bust Watch

[Whips-n-Chains]

Utah exposed him

I didn't see the game, but looking at the box score, they lost by 3, and Zion had 31-8-8-2 blks on 50% shoot...was it his defense? didn't perform in crunch time?

He was missing clutch shots...they towered over him which threw him.off. They were able to guard him without fouling.

Griz were up damn near 60 on the Bucks...I def saw that game.

I think Griz win the west this year

Only 3 made FGs in the 4th and 2 made in OT.... definitely hilarious

3-6 in the 4th, 2-4 in OT. What a scrub.

The bigger problem was Utah didn't respect Nance or Val and kept two bigs in the paint.

Val was virtually non existent

Zion is still great but this was a bad matchup for New Orleans without Ingram

I'll say he should win, he's the best player on the best team in the West and he's done it without BI for half the season

Basketball Reference MVP tracker (based solely on stats/wins as compared to historical winners) has him in 7th place right now.

Problem is that he's 16th in the NBA in scoring and doesn't stick out in any other category. His team has the 4th best record in the NBA, with Jokic and the Nuggets just half a game behind.


Giannis and Tatum have better stats and better defense/intangibles on teams with better records, Jokic has better stats and better defense/intangibles on a team with basically the same record, and Luka has ridiculous stats. those four are going to dominate the MVP conversation with Zion maybe getting in the conversation for 5th unless something significant changes.


I think Tatum is most likely to win if everything continues as is, since Celtics might get the best record and Giannis/Jokic have voter fatigue. Luka will have a shot if the Mavs can win close to 50 games and none of the other frontrunners sticks out for some reason.

His ass always hurt

Utah exposed him

Nikka what?

He had 30 plus both games...

Utah has bigs that make it difficult though but I wouldn't say they exposed anything.

He's undersized but makes up for it with his skill

This has been known
