Very fun watching the Pels and not having to constantly check the scorers table

How much is too much? I mean 38 minutes is still 10 minutes of rest....nearly a full quarter? What Is the accepted standard for starters in the NBA?

I mean 38 all season is a bit too much. You want Zion between 32-35 a game probably

People are saying he isn't playing that well on either end (and honestly he isn't), but he's averaging like 21/11 which is pretty goddamn good.

I think as his cardio gets better and better, and he realizes he can play a lot of minutes without sucking wind or getting injured, the effort level will slowly increase and the defense will get better and better.

Lillard led the league last season with 37.5mpg. Only 5 players averaged 36 or more minutes..

Yep, that's the impressive part.

When you can still put up numbers when you're playing poorly, you'll be just fine.

Nop, 30 minutes in season for Zion, no more.
Zion will be at 38+ minutes in PO thus...

Because a season is very long and the recovery time very short (especially this season).

Since Zion also has a playstyle where the expenditure of energy is very substantial (he rushes into the paint all the time), you have to manage him accordingly.
I would actually put Zion at 30 minutes and BI at 33 minutes.

That depends on the outcome of the match too of course : In a blowout, Zion might try to have 30- minutes.
In close matches, he will have 33+ minutes
