Rather true. It has only been a few games since the offense has been catered around him being more of a creator.

They didn't touch on him as a creator or his new offensive role in any meaningful way. Bringing the ball up the court is basically incidental. The major change is him initiating the offense in the half court. Centers bring up the ball sometimes when there is ball pressure.

It was. He's played better on Defense the last few games but he was more athletic and a better defender (albeit against lesser competition) at Duke. He's still making mistakes on defense but at least he's now playing hard (which is a bigger sin) on that side of the court.

They didn't mention any improvement on the defensive end. That's why it's so funny they called it a "check-in". Nothing they talked about was topical to his recent performance besides the +- stuff. Zion hasn't been a good defender for a calendar year and they haven't even noticed he's improved.
