    Zion showing he can be an alpha to most who've never really seen him play.. When SVG was coaching, he had great success in Zion initiating offense, especially when Zion was leading the 2nd unit in the 2nd periods.. Then for some reason, he'd have Ingram take over in the late 3rd and 4th.. That last year, Pels blew a ton of 20 pt 2nd half leads..

    He's producing at an MVP level on the best team in the West. It's not being discussed enough.

    Zion reaching his full potential long-term consistently is a generational player, and rich man's Barkley as crazy as that sounds.

    He was so young and has started to mature looks like. But he is intelligent and if he can become fully focused, he's an MVP candidate with a top-seeded team.

    Still a lot of basketball left to play and it hasn't proven anything yet, but after all people were saying it's good to see.

    I'm still concerned about long term injury risk but this season he's playing at a very high level.

    He's taken care of his landings from what I can tell. I mean, most of the time, he's bouncing back up like a cat when he lands instead of stomping on the floor. He still lands hard at times on one foot. For example, watch his landing on the windmill dunk at the end of the game against the Suns. He lands on one foot hard. But for the first time, he seems to make sense, unlike France's giant stickman. :confused:

    you know ... New Orleans never had less than 30 wins .

    they got lucky and got gifted Zion and went for good young players for Davis instead of solely future firsts .

    furthermore they made a win now- trade and made the playoffs last year .

    Im pretty sure jalen green has already played more minutes than zion

    Sometimes I forget how massive Zion is.

    Zion is 6'6 280ish lbs? This is basically JJ Watt doing 360 windmills.
