As the 3rd option, correct. But as the 1st or 2nd option, on a team with no other guys who can get their own 3, it's kinda necessary.


Points taken: Those guys that can create their own 3 & shoot a decent % OTD are hard to find. VERY hard. As always, it seems to get down to whether or not we can get Zion on the court. If so...the guy should be able to "create" quite a few more C&S opportunities for everybody...including CJ.

Waste your most dominant player by utilizing only 50% of his skillset and not scheming the ball into his hands. Interesting strategy there, but pretty sure Willie is going to get the ball to Zion because he’s a wrecking ball and the only player that consistently pressures the rim on our team.

Yes... this isn't the NFL where you have to lean on your youth (NFL RBs) and upside as if they are only good for X amount of years... Zion isn't there yet.

When it comes to the type of basketball that needs to be played RIGHT NOW, BI and CJ are the guys that need to lead this team... Zion is just an extra addition to what they can be.

Zion will have his time in a few years to be the guy most want him to be NOW...but he isn't there.

To be a WINNING team NOW... he has to fall into that role , and like I said he'll be likely most effective at that then anything else and will gel with a WINNING team... try to do too much too soon, you may stunt the growth and not see best results.

Our best offense this season was when we ran point Zion, not right now.
