Eventually refs will swallow the whistle and let him get pounded


Eventually??? Do you watch Zion get officiated?

He has the potential to get some officiating early and they make it harder late in games. In general I think he is poorly officiated. I just think they let our opponents get even more physical late in the game and it makes it even more difficult and causes the turnovers.

I do agree refs tend to let more go late in terms of physicality; and agree with your overall point. I just had to point out that Zion is reffed like that from the beginning more often than not.

That no call right before he got the technical was atrocious.

Could do the same setup and have Herb go set the pick for BI and then stay on the right wing, where he's shooting 7/18 this year


Excellent info...I'm a "numbers" guy & seems like Herb is pretty close to establishing his "sweet spots" when it comes to 3-pt shooting. Right corner is obvious and sample size is starting to approach level where it bares close scrutiny especially compared to the left corner #s you quote. Actually, Herb's Wing info seems to favor LEFT wing, now at 8/19 (42.1%) after last night, compared to 7/29 (24.1%) from the right wing.

Personally, I prefer a player having a "sweet spot" on BOTH sides of the court, to encourage free flow of the offense...at least in regards to that particular player.

Once again, thanks for the info.
