I remember the hype coming out of duke, how teams were tanking for him, the “generational” talent/prospect talks. How by this time Zion would either be the straight up face of the league or one of them. Definitely a top ten player and more than likely a top 5 player by now. That basically didn’t happen, he’s been surpassed by other young players since. I legit remember several Who would you rather have going forward Luka or Zion threads. It’s crazy
I like how we’re saying this after he’s averaging 21/6/4 this season (not factoring in the stat-loss due to blowouts) after only playing 29 games last season. Meanwhile, he continues to have social media attention for some of his dunks this season.
People don’t want to talk about someone playing good ball, they only want to talk about his downfall.
