Duke is lucky Tacko is still learning how to play the game because he almost single handedly snuffed them out of the series and he and his teammates were the "underdogs". I don't want to sell UCF's other players short though they all played well but my impression was Tacko left a huge imprint on that game - more so than Zion. It's just that he couldn't stay in the game and that's kind of his own fault but he was like Zion kryptonite out there, stopping all those usually easy buckets for Zion
Yeah, and he also hacked Zion with like 17 minutes left in the 2nd half which should've been his 4th foul and taken him out of the game for the majority of the half.. which means UCF should've never had a chance to begin with.
It was an incredibly obvious foul. The refs were on UCF's dick the entire game including that shot clock violation that also wasn't called which put them up 4 late.
Would've been a tragedy had Duke lost

Aubrey Dawkins played a hell of a game for UCF. He looked so confident out there.
Even though I want to see more Zion and have Duke winning it all, I kinda wish that last second tip went in. Would have been a cool way to finish the game.
Zion was impressive late, the last spin and finish with the foul that took Tacko out of the game was clutch.

That was a grown man NBA move. This kid will be special in the NBA. 18 years old and if he can manage to shoot at least 80% from the free throw line, he will be a force. He's Top 20 easily already.

what's crazy is if he develops good shooting, he can be the best in the game, similar to how LeBron was the best undisputed. this is all in a league with freaks like Giannis, Embiid, KD, Harden, AD, Curry...damn I hope PHX drafts Zion. We would make the playoffs the same season.

It'd be a shame if a generational talent like Zion ended up in Phoenix. You know it and I know it.
That man belongs on center stage. So as a Suns fan, if you land the top pick, would you trade it for the NY pick if let's say the Knicks get the #2 or #3 pick plus let's say Kevin Knox or a future pick? That would be quite a haul.
I think Phoenix would be better served with Ja Morant.

you really think dolan is a better owner than sarver?
suns desperately need a pg and a pf. zion could fill the role at pf, and with him being a generational talent, i would never trade him unless a top 10 player and the 2nd pick are in play. plus, there are several PG's in 2019 free agency that could fill the role.
i think suns will have bad luck and end up with a bs 4th pick tho, realistically speaking, we're not lucky.
