Do you have some data about this?

Really hard to find anything on it. I'm sure if you have one of those pay sites for stats you could pull it up.

What we can see is that Zion set a pick and rolled to the goal a total of 24 times this year. I'm sure he's set more picks than that, but he's only rolled to the goal 24 times this year. Pretty stupid huh. JV did it 163 times, Nance 56 times.
Think about what BI and CJ are seeing when JV sets a pick for them. JV's man and Zion's man are now waiting for them in the paint.
When it's Zion it's no different, b/c his man is already sagging off of him, so he just goes under the pick.
BI (0.95 PPP) and CJ (1.05 PPP) both had a higher points per possession as the ball handler on ball screens than Zion (0.94 PPP) did this year. 1.05 and better is where you want to be if you do it a lot.
They were both higher than Zion (0.97 PPP) on dribble handoffs as well, CJ at 1.07 PPP and BI at 1.17 PPP.
Coming off screens was a bit different. CJ was actually terrible which is surprising at 0.81 PPP, BI was actually really good at 1.2 PPP, and Zion was good at 1.1 PPP. Highest points per possession on the team coming off screens..........Jordan Hawkins at 1.26 PPP



I don't recall where i saw it, but the Zion/Trey pick play had some really high success rate. More so with Zion as the ball handler and Trey setting the pick and finding an open spot for 3. It was forcing Trey's man to help leaving him open, or he wasn't helping enough and Zion was getting his full head of steam to the rim.
