Well that's also a team problem. We know Zion cant carry a team and this is probably the worst squad weve had from a defensive standpoint. The fact remains that we're better on offense with him on the court

17 and not on the court when the game is in the balance says it all.

Lol no it doesnt.

Since borrego ball hes averaged what would be a career high in ts% (65.6, very elite), and posted a 4.8 BPM. We've been better on offense with him on the court with Borrego.

I hope other GMs are looking at this. We gotta hope herb comes back to clean up the defense enough to string some wins to get max value for this dude

He’s really not though, it’s just that we have a bunch of dudes open… any NBA player can do that if 3-4 defenders are clogging the lane.

There's a difference between passing to an open player and hitting a guy in the chest off a dribble for an easy catch and shoot.

If that's all he can do, which has been the case since he came in because he refused to really add anything to his game

Thats not really true either, Zion is a very gifted passer, point Zion was a real threat, we just dont do it nearly as much anymore (not enough 3pt shooting around him)

Somehow, he's not nearly as good anymore. Was the weight loss actually a negative? Have the injuries taken a toll on his athleticism? It's hard to say why this has happened.

This is his 3rd best ts% season. He's scoring just fine.

Theres several reasons Zion isn't as good, the main one being borrego isn't building the offense around him and rightly so.

Other reasons: he doesn't have cj. Zion and CJ were lethal together.

Herb and naji aren't there to clean up his shite defense anymore either. The team around him isn't as good as it was.
