When I said it would take 20 games for him to look like old Zion I really meant 45-50.

All jokes aside the effort looks better, but I think the team is letting him get all the easy ones now instead of Jonas.

He’s played better defense lately also.

Nah he is definitely rebounding with a lot more intent.

Not just given easy ones

I was at the game tonight and he looked totally in control. Not winded, ever. No one could guard him and it was obvious.

Looked as explosive as ever and much better defensively.

Naji also played much better when asked to.

Glad to see Trey just keep shooting. That’s what shooters do. Shoot out of an in-game slump. So clutch.

Clarkson had Zion 3 times in isolation. Zion played great defense each time and the Jazz got zero points with 2 turnovers and one bad shot.

Hopefully, someone can explain to Willy that there isn't a rule that says Zion needs to exit the game at the 6 minute mark. It was one thing in October when he was dragging arse, but he's been bouncing all around in the 4th the last couple of weeks. Yet he still pulls him same time every game and our leads evaporate.

You can count on Naji to make a timely play when you don’t expect it. Very nice bench guy to have.

That's winning basketball. Its not only about scoring.

He needs to hustle down the damn floor, get rebounds, and play some semblance of D

I used to see these flashes and get excited, but now they do nothing for me.

We've seen the flashes bunch of times.

Do it for 20+ games in a row, then I'll get excited.

I’ve seen him sprint for the first time this year a few times recently and you can definitely see more effort on rebounds as a theme post Lakers melt game.
Defense has been close to the below average level, which is about his peak as an NBA player thus far.

It’s funny. It just dawned on me that
Zion is only 6’6” or 6’7”. I had him as a little taller in my pea brain.
