Yall nikkas when he comfortably averages 16/10/5/2 with a 52% fg percentage
It's going to take some sort of miracle for him to "comfortably" average those numbers.
For starters, for him to average five assists, either Lonzo and/or Jrue and/or Ingram will have to go down injured (he's NOT averaging that amount of assists if they all stay healthy), or the Pelicans have the most high-powered offense in history for all four of them to average a high-amount of assists. And if the former ends up being the result, and he averages five assists - 16 points on 52 FG% seems abnormally high that he'd be producing at a rate for a rookie on an understrength lottery team, likely playing in a position and a role that he's not comfortable in (which would affect his efficiency). And if the latter is true, then the Pelicans would likely be the #1 seed.
LeBron was nowhere near that efficient in his first season, and he was far more advanced as a scorer than Zion was at the same age.
I think it's safe to say he's not going to be
comfortably averaging those numbers. Plus, nobody should be looking at his box score #s to evaluate his season/growth. Y'all nikkas need to come up off that.
