He also desperately needs to learn has to stop his drive and pass out. You have to be able to read when it's not there and adjust. Again, it doesn't have to happen overnight, but it does need to happen.

this was something i assumed was going to be more a part of his game from what we saw at Duke, but it's the biggest issue on offense

and let me be clear, i'm not saying zion is a bust or anything close to it, but his game in year 2 leaves MAJOR questions as to his ultimate developmental arc/potential. this year is not showing his generational greatness potential that we all thought he had coming out of college. he still projects to be a good player, just not a great one. year 3 is a big year and does anyone expect him to make a leap by next year into the elite? it doesn't look that way right now

Super early in a season with almost no training camp/preseason, a new coach, and basically VERY little offense installed.

I'm not ready to call anything about how he may look heading into year 3 when we still have so much of year 2 left. Plenty of time to turn things around.

I'm just wondering with limited time off between games if it's better to focus on offensive sets or individual workouts more. Working on Zion individually may have a greater impact if we can speed up the process of him learning those things.

Maybe do a split and have some guys like Zion, Hayes, and NAW work more individually during practice and let guys like Adams, Ingram, Bledsoe, Ball, Hart, Melli, and JJ work on offensive sets.

2 of the former 3 mentioned players (Zion and NAW) can easily create for themselves and definitely need more individual work than learning offensive sets (though they need both, you have to lean one way more right now). Hayes needs more specialized work to teach him to read plays on defense better and where he needs to space on offense.
