re: Check in if you always knew Zion was going to be a bust in New Orleans

Dude did you even read my 2 posts? I heavily defended Zion. I was literally the first one to defend him in this thread. In a response to another poster, I mentioned Zion’s and BI’s defense being a concern, which it was in December 2021. Hell, it kind of still was for Z, until 15-20 games into this season. I also mentioned being concerned about Griff’s roster building. But the context of that was, we were also like 20 games below .500 at the time and guys I liked like Naji and Jose were buried under the bench in favor of other players.

But we now have 2 regulars who went hard at doubting Zion.

How am I getting lumped into this? I've never doubted Zions talent or impact.

The only negative things I have ever talked about him are his conditioning and body type. He's going to miss alot of games. We aren't halfway through the year and he's already missed 8 games. He's going to end up probably missing 15-20 by the end of the year. Which is better than I hoped. You just can't have consistent success with your stars missing 20%
(Or more) of the games every year..
