I’m a Pelicans fan but am getting pretty sick of watching Zion not take a midrange shot let alone a 3 point when the opportunity’s there. He does his drive through the middle thing in every situation even regardless. I understand that part of it is trying to draw a foul, however many times he just fumbles and drops the ball or falls over. What’s your take on his strategy and do you think he’d be better taking the midrange or 3 in a lot of situations instead? I’m just a casual fan and not an expert on the game and strategy, so It would be great to hear other people’s perspective on this.
Zion isn’t a skilled basketball player. He is an athletic freak when healthy (Which as we have found out is rare). When his athleticism goes, he has nothing else in his bag. He needs to learn to expand his game like Blake Griffin - a similar player early in his career who redefined himself after injuries and learned to do things other than dunk.
