Is Zion the best PG on the team?

Now that Bledsoe’s gone? Yes.

Let’s hope not. I like Zion running point as a different look but his handle is nowhere near good enough to be PG all the time. I think Graham is going to be a very good player for us now that he’s not blocked by LaMelo.

Yeah I think point Zion is situational. One underrated thing about the addition of Graham is that he can replace Lonzo’s shooting numbers while also being a full time ball handler, giving us another shooting threat rather than trotting out Lonzo/Bledsoe

The way Giannis and the Bucks just won proves Point Zion should be situational.

Giannis and Zion are infinitely more dangerous if they are attacking the basket from all angles, not just from the point position.

It becomes easy to defend if you just run Point Zion into a wall of defenders all game. The wall defense becomes easier to perfect over the course of one game, let alone an entire playoff series.

You are who you guard. Zion cannot defend a small guard. We can run the offense through him. But you still need a quick guy that can defend the Chris Pauls and Damian Lillards or the world.

I would have loved to get someone like Beverly in here to defend and mentor Lewis.

Garret Temple is going to be great as a mentor for some of our guys. I love having him on the team. I’m just not a fan of point Zion. Put him in the positions he can best succeed and let someone else handle the ball.

It's gonna be zion and bi running pg, all Graham has to do is hit open 3s, x factor in all this is naw, if countines to improve his decision making and knock down open 3s he can run pg when they are on bench

No. Devonte is an excellent passer and has an above average P&R game.

Zion's gravity with the ball and going downhill causes so much defensive attention but Graham is the best pure point on the team.

Yeah Zion’s point ceiling may land somewhere between Lebron and Giannis before all is said and done. We are still in the infancy stages of figuring out what he can and can’t do at this point.

- His efficiency does drop and turnovers go up when teams can build a wall and key in on his driving.

- And when teams do successfully build those walls and drop his efficiency, it would be nice to have counter moves, no?

- Our offense becomes predictable

- Adding those wrinkles makes his driving game more effective because defenders have to account for multiple scoring actions

- It helps preserve his body and energy.

- Can use his added gravity and added chaos to help create lanes and opportunities for others. Making him a better point guard than just driving and kicking, which defenders can key in on as well.

Zion doesn’t have to turn into Steph Curry, or even Blake Griffin, but having some additional tools in his arsenal like a pull up jumper, a floater, and better 3 point efficiency will just make him and the team around him better.
