The point after all of that crap i just said is really that if you trade BI, which i am open to even though everythign thinks i'm the biggest BI supporter on this site, you hve to bring back someone who can play in the clutch b/c we have no one. You can't trade BI and bring back Evan Mobley. That doesn't make us any better in the clutch, unless Zion learns how to play better in the clutch, and i'm not betting on that.

I dont completely agree on this. A lot of clutch issues are not just coaching but hierarchy and fit. We bring in another guy who demands the ball especially a wing- you will have the same issues. Players need to know their roles to perform optimally in the clutch. Mobley defines Zions role more where as a guy like BI almost limits Zions aggression and him demanding the ball in the clutch.

Zion himself said he was too passive yesterday. I think its interesting that happens in the same game BI returns.

ZIon sucks in teh clutch, and always will if all he wants to do is drive violently to the goal every single time and refuse to take mid range shots or threes, on top of being a terrible FT shooter.

He falls everytime he shoots a layup which leads to a 5 on 4 every single time.
