Zion's teammates Ignore Him of Offense

[AngelEyes]

Way too often during Duke games Zion is completely ignored on offense and doesn't even touch the ball on a possession. He's a complete mismatch and can't be guarded by any of these college players yet it seems like his teammates forget he's out there sometimes.

Yes OP I agree Zion should dominate the ball every posession. He should move to PG

They're jealous of his big room

I'm not saying he should dominate the ball I'm saying it's foolish to ignore him on offense, he should touch the ball on every possession.

zions just an athletic clean up guy with ZERO handles, ZERO counters and only hits wide open shots


he's basically a glorified anthony bennett with slightly more hops


a 6-7 300 pound power forward will not translate well to the nba


only way he does well is if he hooks up with a dominant playmaker that feeds him like nash did with amare

What? Im agreeing with you. The average ISH poster knows more about offensive schemes than Mike Kyrzewski, I am on record saying this but Jeff deleted the thread

Anthony Bennett didn't have 1 % of this guy's athleticism and had nowhere near his motor or work ethic. Zion's game will translate fine to the NBA.

the problem is theres no way he can keep it up unless he drops 50 pounds... and guys only put on weight after college


he obviously has fat genes


his knees will be bone on bone by his 2nd or 3rd season

Kenny speaks the truth here. Zion is a scrapper prone to being fat and unless he learns how to play with finesse injuries are gonna destroy the potental to be at least a decent NBA player.

[Elosha]

Duke's very tentative and Zion isn't as involved as he should be. He needs to be at least as aggressive as he was last game. He's got to step it up in the second half.

Zion should be taking at least 1.5x as many shots as the next highest player.

Sounds like you are describing Charles Barkley :confusedshrug:

Problem is Duke has two others that are going Top 10 and have mouths to feed


The system isn't built around Zion like it should be

[StrongLurk]

Zion could honestly peak as a more athletic Charles Barkley with better defense, but worse rebounding.

I've gone on record multiple times saying he needs to slim down but I think he is smart enough to hire a better nutritionist and gym coach because how did they even let him think it was "ok" to be where he is at at this moment you know?

He needs a regimen chance no doubt.

Definitely possible

Reddish sucks ass though. Anyone drafting him top 10 is really gonna regret that.

Agreed. Reddish is the type of guy that would GREATLY benefit from another year of college. He could actually be the number one option next year and expand his game.

Very good point, hell I think Wade played 3 years at Marquette right?

Edit: 2 years

Can't wait to bump terrible hot takes like this. A dominant playermaker to be successful you reckon? Zion is going to do whatever he wants. People were saying Wiggins is too skinny coming out of college, blahblahblah. Wiggins, when he gives a shit, can get whatever he wants, whenever he wants. And he wasn't doing what Zion did in college.

Duke shares the ball. Thos is college ball. Even in a powerhouse school one player is not above the system.
