Zion ranks something like 80th in FG% at the rim, so would you say Zion is not elite at the rim?
He’s not.
Look at the numbers. League average is .701%
Zion shoots .721%
He’s 37th among players with over 200att.
D’Aaron fox for comparison shoots 81% at the rim. Joel Embiid shoots 80% at the rim.
Zion is much closer to league average than the truly elite guys.

Percentages alone don't mean very much. Volume needs to be considered as well, and that's what makes Zion elite.
You could look at 3-pt percentage and say that Steph is only 9th, so he's not elite, but then you look at the fact that he has over 200 more attempts than any of the eight guys above him in percentage.

Seems you don't understand or just randomly want to ignore frequency of shots taken at the rim.
If you want to believe Bismack Biyombo is elite at the rim because he has the 4th highest FG% at the rim and Zion is not, by all means, have at it.
Zion is 6th in the league in TS% if you except out the non volume shooters, 15th total. How can he be ranked that high if the shot he takes more than anything else, he's just a bit above average at?
