Keep in mind people, shite like this:

That shite is gone.

Which was one way we got Zion a lot of his easy points and highlight plays. And it’s gone because it was part of what got us killed in the aggregate. Zion was allowed to basically sell out in rebounding to be the first out in transition while the rest of the team
was attempting to break pace records behind him. Getting him in those easily exploitable transition low post positions where Lonzo or Jrue could feed him on the break or across court and get an easy bucket...But we were bleeding out on defense and giving up a ton of extra chance points in the process. Since it didn’t help Gentry would also load up lineups with poor defenders or rebounders to chase spacing.

I feel like if what they said on ESPN was true and we may start seeing Zion matching up on the perimeter defensively more often in the future, those might be able to come back in a more healthy fashion. But IDK

the entire point of acquiring a great rebounder like Adams was, theoretically, to continue this without the negative

again, Adams solves this problem completely
