I think the idea of Zion is better than the reality. He’s not shown me he’s a franchise guy. Yes, he played well against the Knicks at home where the Knicks were coming off a B2B and wher Randle, Brunson and Barrett were a combined 15 for 45.
But he’s playing on a team with BI, who many would say is better than anyone on the Knicks, and with a center who averaged 14.1 ppg and 10.2 Rebounds and for his career has averaged 13.5 and 9.5 so it’s not a fluke, and his team has lost 5 straight games and has a losing record for the season.

And this is with him healthy.
