Gonna say this right here...again.

There's a disconnect where Zion is basically having hsi performance compared to the Lebron's of the world and since it's not quite up to par, it's somehow being translated into well Zion is trending down and RJ Barrett is now trending up so let's compare RJ to Zion, which is flat out absurd.

From that draft class, Zion and Morant are obviously #1 and #2 and whoever #3 is, the difference between 2 and 3 is legit probably a bigger gulf than the difference between 3 and probably the 45th dude in the draft or some shite.

I do think Ja has closed the gap considerably on Zion from what my thoughts on the 2 were at the time of the draft, but I'd still take Zion over Ja without hesitation at this point.

Unless either one suffers a catastrophic injury, I think what we called them before the draft is fitting right into place.

ja's potential is a westbrook/rose slasher who could be lethal if he developed a consistent jumpshot/3pt shot. He's proven thus far that's the trend he's going into right now.

zion's potential was a generational superstar like lebron who will put up a bunch of stats/points, efficiently, but the limitation for him will become where he lands in his passing/shooting. Which we're seeing right now is just that.

In a world where lakers land the #2 pick and we somehow got both to go with Ingram? Would have been amazing.
