It's amazing the pass some of y'all give Zion, after the way last season ended for him it was ridiculous the shaped he showed up in to start the season. How can you contend for championship when your best player doesn't even care enough to stay in shape when he has been hurt is whole career. Zion has been in the league five years and has played in one fricking play in game.


Zion has been a problem that’s clear. People are giving him a pass this year only. People were brutal about him before this year. The change is that it seems he’s more engaged and he was playing at an All-NBA level before this minor injury. Of course the injury came at the worst possible time but that’s not really his fault. Zion seriously should be held accountable for the last five years but that doesn’t shield others from blame.

Right, but we shouldn't.

He played over half the season out of shape and not giving enough effort.

It's great that the final 2 months the light bulb seemed to go off and we saw the best Zion we've seen, that's super.

But IMO he shouldn't get a pass for the 1st 4 months. The whole point is to show up day 1 in camp in the best possible shape. And if you're the best player, you should be in better shape than any other player on this team, not dead last. Had he did that, and all we're asking here is to be a professional, this team wins well over 50 games and is a top 4 seed.

I'd argue that it's Griff's job more than anything else, to ensure the face of his franchise is bought in. Whether it's doing it himself or through the coach Griff has...your main job is keep the face of the franchise happy, engaged, and all in and that hasn't happened for a full season in 5 years now. Griff shares some responsibility in that as well.
