1 on 1, he's really hard to guard. The problem is when teams scheme to stop him and he has no counters for it.

That and the general lack of effect he has on winning basketball in the 4th/most games

I remember LeBron proved how to guard Zion a few years back in that NBA tournament championship. Just take two steps back to dare him to shoot jump shots and take the charge when he tries to drive.

Zion is a very efficient scorer. The problem is that he's not good enough at the other things: passing, rebounding, and (especially) defense.

And what did Zion do to him a few months later?

Oh yeah, almost single handily took out their entire team and knock them out the play in.

Key word being "almost". He tapped out of the rest of the game and playoffs and he has not played a game like that since then.

His best achievement being an "almost" in a play in game let's you know that Zion is one of the biggest fake good players of all time.

Agreed. But the lack of a 3 point threat on the Pels' roster has also hurt Zion's game (and, he also has plenty of self inflicted wounds).
