re: 5th most points in Pels history

He also needs to spot TF up and ask for the ball after setting a pick. When Z sets a pick around the top of the key defenders completely collapse and he's literally wide open every time. If there is no space for a roll he will just hover around the circle behind the FT line. Literally the last effective spot to be in after a pick. Why not just back up to the 3pt elbow or top of the key. He's gonna be wide open every time.
I also notice that when he is in a spot up position, teammates don't even look his way. That's something that has to be coached God dammit. Id be telling/teaching Zion how to pop and telling the team to get it to him when the D collapses. I need 2 of those per game.

He usually starts the year slowly and is running fast and jumping high by mid December.
Most years he was available at the start of the year he wasn't getting 25ppg in Oct/Nov. Usually around 20-22. By Dec/Jan he's usually back to his 26+ on 58%+.
Play calling was always an issue and seems to still be one. Running the offense thru BI to start the year, switching up to point Zion by December, and the team playing much better afterwards.
Dude is still fast asf and still jumps high asf but right now his change of direction and agility with the ball hasn't looked as good as usual.
Time will tell but at this point I think he's glad the team has Fears and Queen, will help them develop because he's still guarded by 4 people every possession, and probably request a trade after the year is over. He seems too content with not getting shots and thatx not usually the case.
He's been coming off picks with a lane to drive and he will pass the ball to the youngins. I can respect if he has no problem giving them the keys and not being mad about his possessions. I think he wants out but not in a controversial way.
But God dammit will the coach tell his arse to spot up and take some frickin 3's. He will set a pick and if there is no lane to roll he will hover around the circle behind the FT line. Bro, stand at the top of the key or the elbow 3 area and call for the ball. Take some of them bitches.
Z has never been a bad 3 point shooter, he just never puts himself in position to get a wide open spot up. The defense leaves him completely open at the top of the key after he sets a pick, why is no coach on the staff forcing him to stay the frick there and take open 3's.
Focus on what I'm saying tonight and watch how open he is off the ball around the top of the key. If the damn coaches ain't forcing him to use that sag off to his advantage then maybe Borrego ain't got the mentality to implement it.
I don't see how they don't notice this while watching game film. He's been taking more pill ups and he hits those at a good percentage, but will not do it again if he misses the first one.
He gotta be coached out of that. If defenders are sagging off and packing the paint, and you never take advantage of it, the coach has to beat it into his head.
I don't think he's taken a single 3 this season smh

He used to. He was out running guards when he was fat and that was consistent at some points, he just trails behind right now and it's mind boggling.
Last season in a wasted year he was doing that shite every possession, though as a team they were awful at fast break, hep got oops every night. Pawful throws from CJ and all.
Idk what's going on right now. His first step looks slower, he's not getting low on drives as he usually does even in his worse shape. I honestly don't know wtf is going on.
Either he's checked out completely or he lost hella athleticism in the off season
