Draymond doesn’t have a HOF career and he had one year of elite shooting.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?
Let’s keep him out of conversations with actual elite players.
