Maybe we can wait until he’s played more than 40 or so NBA games before we say Zion isn’t a complete player. He has lots of time to develop a mid range, a catch and shoot three ball, dribbling with his off hand and a couple post counters.
The problem with this is, players come into the league with some resemblance of a jumpshot and perimeter game, and they expand and fine-tune that; Zion came into the league with none of that shyt. Unless you have some developmental framework, then 99.9% of the time you won't add that to your game. And he's going to need a perimeter game if he's going to be a success and reach whatever his ceiling is, because this bully-ball shyt at 6"6' is only going to put food on the table for so long.

I remember the same damn arguments for Ben Simmons when he first came into the league (and even he showed more a jumpshot than Zion did), and yet here we are in 2021, still talking about him not having a jumper....

This muh'fukka has played 300+ minutes this season and he ain't even got ONE point outside the paint. NOT ONE!

I’d expect that from Mitchell Robinson or someone but Zion could at least shoot it

Yall hating on a 20 yr old kid avg 20 in his first season he's going to feast at what he does great for a long time. Get him a PG that can actually shoot and the pelicans have a ton of draft picks but Zion has exceeded my expectations so far.
I agree....people here don’t wanna admit his game isn’t as fun as they thought it’d be in the league to watch.....but he’s still very productive and a monster to deal with......I think he is just fine where he at

Even though he eventually answered i know he didn't. Im not trying to sound conceited but anyone who played bball seriously doesn't act the way he acts
Eventually answered it?

I answered it within five minutes you made that post.

:lolbron:

It's always goofy ass nikkas like you and @Squirrel With Deez Nuts In His Mouth who always expose themselves thinking playing the game has anything to do with analyzing it. It's why cats like Michael Beasley are a bucket, but past coaches of his (Frank Martin) said he couldn't even understand the basic of offensive actions.

You couldn't even address my argument, so you launched into some irrelevant shyt - one that was based upon a lie about Draymond/Cap, and the other about whether I'd hooped. You essentially picked up your ball and went home.

:picard:

I’m glad you’ve finally admitted you can’t play ball. Now I really don’t have to entertain another one of your posts :mjlol:
