Zion is mostly one dimensional offensively but isn't in top 25 scorers

I think his window to be elite is gone. He's in shape but he's not dominant.
He's not bad. But if you're primary skillset is offense, you have to dominate offensively. He doesn't.
22.5 ppg is good but it's not even very good much less elite.
It's not like he offsets it with great D and rebounding.
He's not even an All Star level scorer. This is CJ McCollum numbers.
I'm not even mad or hating on him. He just isn't that good anymore.

He’s gets phased out way too much. Watch the nuggets and it’s Jokic and Murray. They rarely ever go possessions without them touching the ball. We got Dejounte and Fears dribbling the air out of the ball.

No dimensional can’t rebound no motivation to play trade his azz.

I don’t think he even touched the ball for the 1st 4 minutes or so of the game yesterday. Then when he did, it was on a put back.

the biggest redeemable quality is, right now, zion is 33rd in scoring in the league but there's only 2 players above him that is doing it with less shot attempts. both of which shoot the 3 ball. he doesn't hog the shots away from other players on the team.

He could be an elite 6th man. Just come in for 20-25 minutes and do nothing but score at elite efficiency. It would have to be on his next contract because he’s paid way too much to come off the bench

This was figured out a year+ ago when he decided to get serious about his conditioning, stayed healthy, and still wasn't that good.
Definitely didn't live up to #1 overall but he's not bad either. Just not a winning starting player on a contender.

Maybe the coaching staff wasn't the biggest problem...

yeah should have trades him 2 years ago

He’s shooting 65% on 13 shots a game. Crazy thought, what if he just shot more? I never understand how he can finish a game 9 for 11 while we watch Dejounte or Fears put up more shots.
Curious on what the efficiency dip would be if he just forced up 7 more shots a game. Even if he dropped 10%, him shooting 55% on those extra shots would be a net positive no?

I think he heard you lol.
But he needs to demand the ball more. He should be 1st in team usage not 3rd. We saw what he did in overtime scoring 9/11 points. He is ranked first in the NBA in true shooting % this year at 70%.

Zion doing everything is so much better than focal point Zion

His usage rate has gone down, but from an offensive efficiency standpoint, he still looks pretty dominate.
He's shooting 60.8% from the field and has expanded his range. The last time he shot 60.8% from the field he averaged 26 ppg and was akmost exclusively taking shots at the rim. He also took 16.2 shots a game that season, whereas this year he's averaging the lowest attempts of his career at 12.8.
