Why are we still questioning it six season in?

If we are still questioning it this far in it just means he's not serious about basketball and being a leader

The problem is the second we accept it, it's over.

Tonight was a culmination of this team and its poor build. You can say whatever you want about Zion, but the team was SIGNIFICANTLY better when he was on the floor. Zion, Ingram, and CJ are a horrendous fit. They have to move on from this trio. When they are all on the floor, Zion is limited. He was relegated to the corner entirely too much tonight. We never ran point Zion with Ingram and CJ in the game. They simply aren’t a winning three man group.

Zion looked great in the preseason, both games without Ingram. Ingram looked much better in game 1, without Zion. Neither one of them make each other better, at least with this staff. We made 4 3’s before garbage time. We have no chance to win a game like that. What was real scary about tonight is that we couldn’t guard and we got destroyed on the glass. I had some major concerns going into this season and tonight, against an awful opponent, they were all realized.

But the problem is that his lack of fitness doesn't allow him to be on the floor for more than 30mpg.

We saw this shite last year at this time where we had to limit his minutes because he was gassed after being on the floor for long stretches.

You're right, BI and Zion are a poor match with how they both play (I don't agree that CJ is a part of the problem). But the issue is that you need to have another guy who can at least be an alpha on offense (in BI) because you have to account for a lot of minutes (and games) that Zion isn't on the floor.

Zion was drafted to become the unquestioned cornerstone of the franchise. His body hasn't allowed him to do that and it has severely handcuffed the organization.

He played 28 minutes and checked out with 8:22 left in the 4th. He comes back in and plays around 33-34 minutes if the game is close. So no, you are incorrect stating he can’t play 30 minutes.

Except he didn't play those minutes after playing only 29 minutes last game.

Good try though.

Why would they bring him back in down 20? If it was a 5 point game, he checks back in around the 4:00-5:00 minute mark and plays 33ish minutes. Don’t know how you can argue that but ok.

I just asked if I was doing it right?

I need someone with expertise to let me know.

He is not going to start a season in shape in his entire career going forward.

You are a loser. Make incorrect statements and then deflect by changing the subject. Again, I really hope this is an internet persona because if everyone dislikes you on an anonymous message board.. I pity you.

I like how you think you’re doing something lol. You just derailed your own thread because you couldn’t handle being called out on spewing nonsense. “Zion can’t play 30 mpg” when he obviously would have had it not been a blowout. Try hard loser.

What? He's not in shape?

Huh, I thought he was on top of it this offseason and in the best program, with the best people. What happened?

Since when? LOL, it hasn’t happened yet. I wouldn’t expect it in the future. It’s personal responsibility.
