Will Zion average 20+ as a rookie?

Luka did it last year and Donovan Mitchell two years ago. I dont think it is farfetched given how easily Zion scores around the rim and how many opportunities he will have this season.

I thought he would be a 15/8 guy his first year but im starting to think more of a 19/9 guy while shooting a high percentage from the field. Hes just such a freak with such a high motor.

He's getting to the basket with relative ease and no one wants to get hit by the locomotive.

If he gets a 3 hes better than AD.

20 is a very tall order for a non-guard rookie.

Especially when there’s expectation to play defense at a high level at the same time.

It really is a tall order but this is a rare talent nba and hes playing in a up tempo offense that basically fits his game. Ive more blown away with his passing ability than anything.

Well, after two preseason games, Zion’s averaging 22.5 pts per game.

So for now, the answer is yes.

I think people really underestimate the egos of NBA players and it wanting to get posterized. Guys are gonna let him go all season

Normally he would, but I don’t think on this team he’ll hit that mark. 18 more likely

Hard to predict after seeing 2 preseason games. I haven’t seen him create his own offense yet. So, I think his scoring with be highly variable depending on defensive spacing of who we are playing, the pace/tempo, the fast break opportunities, his ability to get offensive rebounds, and his free throw shooting. I think he’ll be close to 20 by the end of the season, but probably a few points below overall.
