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?

:usure:
Draymond doesn’t have a HOF career and he had one year of elite shooting.

Let’s keep him out of conversations with actual elite players.

Bro was literally crossing nikkas over going to the basket all game last night :mjlol:, he has the deadliest jab step explosion I have EVER seen :ohhh: and you usually don't count triple threat moves for dribbling, but Zion be having nikkas lost, he has been sending defenders flying the opposite way on some crossover type of shyt :banderas:
I feel like the nikka read this thread cause this was mid-way through the 1st quarter

This thread is starting to sound more and more like how folks were trying to defend the Wiggins criticisms in his early years. Not saying Zion is on that path by any means :whoa: ... but just saying the tone yall Zion fan boys take on in the face of real, constructive observations and critique is eerily similar to Wiggins' fanboys during his early years.

We definitely need a slap button in here....

Zion hasn’t even played half a season yet....and even so...you can already see dude is going to be great....

You nikkas and your criticisms are the same things that fans on Zion say....

So really what’s your point?

You’re clowns and seem to want to see the man fail because he has a fan base....

Clown

:unimpressed:

And I’m not going back and forth....don’t even bother quoting me:comeon:

Zion just hit another fade away jumper from close mid range, making him 6-6 in his career :mjlol:


People don't realize 10-15 feet is still considered shots in the paint. Bro gets high elevation and a pretty release every time.

It's vets been in the league 10+ years couldn't even attempt a fade away that clean looking. But give ahead and cook Coli :yeshrug:

It seems like it's always somebody lost in defensive rotations even when Zion ain't in the floor (he is always out of place for sure).

I'm starting to look at Stan because the Pistons had this problem a lot also

He gonna average 30 this year but his ball watching on defense is bothersome. He loses his man a lot keeping his eyes on where the ball is more than where his man is.

You can be coached out if that but Stan might not be the personality that can go hard with constructive criticism.
He's looked a lot better the last two games but yeah his defense needs to be worked on. I would like to see some improvement by the end of the season.

Year 3 is when I'm going to take the kid gloves off him as far as being lenient on his defense.
