Poor & Lazy comparison with Ben . He has never been as aggressive offensively, so although he doesn’t have great range yet he doesn’t handicap his team nearly as much as Simmons.
I will say compared to last year it seems Zion is taking even less jumpers. I get doing what works best but the worst thing he can do is get content(cough Draymond) & not grow . Other than that he’s been great this season .
It's not a "poor and lazy" comparison.
I'm simply outlining the argument that was used for Ben during his initial years when he didn't have a jumpshot. People said:
give him time; he's only young; he'll develop one; why should he stop doing what he's doing when teams can't stop him from scoring in the paint. The exact same arguments are being made for Zion. You have a pretty good idea if a player is going to develop a perimeter game after seeing them at the NBA-level, and the odds are stacked against him.
Draymond is the real
poor and lazy comparison here.
He's a second-round pick (both Ben and Zion went #1, respectively, and have far greater expectations), who's performed on the biggest stage (shooting jumpers and all), been a part of one of the NBA's greatest dynasties, to now where his body is dealing with the consequences. fukk outta here trying to insinuate that he didn't
grow as a player. How many second-round picks end up having HOF careers?
