I agree but I think Giannis will be his toughest opponent. He is taller than him and can match up athletically. Also, maybe Ben Simmons to a lesser extent. However, those two being dominant and playing to their strengths (low post players with athletic ability and not jacking up 3’s all day) will also help the NBA change from a pick up game style (no defense and 80 3’s a game) to a more structured enjoyable flow.

Coaches will not want Giannis or Ben to guard Zion for an entire game. He will draw too many fouls and wear them out. Perhaps in crunch time but no way they are main defender for an entire game.
Both would be giving up 40+ pounds to Zion and it would be reasonable to assume that even Giannis would lack Zion's strength.
I dont think we see teams trying to defend Zion with just one guy. If they allow him to get the ball near the goal, he is too efficient. I think we see more teams trying to deny him the ball. Put a strong player on him to wear on him and someone else attempting to deny entry passes.
