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).

Draymond secretly gay

If they play him to stop him from driving, he kills them with the jumpshot, If they play him to stop his jumpshot, then he kills them driving in for a dunk.

When I saw thread headline I thought of exactly this.

Teams can scheme for it cause he’s kicking it out to Herb Jones and Dejounte Murray. With Yves/ in the paint

You can go a lot further than that.
He only goes left.
He only has one speed.
He's taking a 0-3ft shot 95% of the time at the rim.
He doesn't have a reliable mid range, floater, or reliable shot he can fall back on in space.
He doesn't have a euro step or any off speed moves during the dribble or off the gather.
He doesn't utilize pump fakes, up and under, or footwork to create space off the pivot.
He also doesn't sell fouls or flash the ball to force refs to call the foul.
How has not improved his free throw shooting.
Shooting masks his issues but he is still extremely flawed as a player.

His new trainer he started with last year said this is exactly what they’re working on this entire offseason
