I mean that sounds great and I love Jrue.
But signing Jrue isn’t selling 4500 season tickets overnight. We got the fricking juggernaut tonight.

That wasn’t why he said that. He doesn’t want that mindset to be passed down to Zion or the media or the fan base just yet. Zion’s first two years are crucial because he CAN grow into a top 10 NBA player in that time frame if he works hard and has the right mentality.
Giving him such high expectations, and us as well, would only lead to unwarranted pressure on him and lead us to be miserable as fans because he’s not a mega star in his rookie year. All those factors could inhabit his growth as a player. Griff, by saying this is Jrue’s team” basically is putting the pressure on Jrue, who can take it. He’s the vet, he’s the leader and he can take that pressure of trying to be the face of the franchise until Zion is ready

He's saying all the right things to protect Zion. Everyone knows this is the Zion era.
