Team worst -23 +/- tonight. 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 TOs.

Players with more or equal rebounds:
BI - 7
CJ - 4
Dyson - 3 (played 10 minutes)
Beal - 7
Booker - 4
Grayson Allen - 4
Josh Okogie - 3 (played 5 minutes)

Keep making excuses for this dude. We just saw the difference between a true superstar and whatever Zion and BI are.

we need more size on the front line. Z is undersized and when he's not physical, he's a minus.

Zion is the reason booker scored 52? +/- isn’t the whole story. It’s annoying af tbh.

So what is the whole story with Zion in your opinion?

I feel like there was a point early on in the game where it was either BI or Z on the floor with (and I thought it was Z)

Dyson
Trey
Hawk
JV

And we just got absolutely gutted since DD was a bum offensively and got roasted by Book.

I agree Zion sucked but so did everyone else in this game. So hard to blame solely Zion on this one.

For tonight, sure.

But for better or for worse, this team's ceiling is solely based on Zion, so he will get the brunt of the blame because him not becoming a superstar is the biggest of the many things holding us back.

Is everyone else getting paid the max, or just Zion? It’s silly and disingenuous to hold him to the same standard as our role players. He’s supposed to be *the guy* and he can’t even play the most basic pick and roll defense.

The three weeks after getting called out by Shaq and Barkley he averaged about 8 rbs a game. The three ish weeks since he’s averaging about 4 rbs a game.

It takes public humiliation to make him work hard for a few weeks and then he goes back to his old ways. He just doesn’t have the desire to be great.
