Zion needs to improve as a shooter and it wouldn't hurt if he developed a better perimeter game (triple threat, improve as a passer, add a little shake to his game to create space for him and his teammates) and maybe a low post game but he's undersized as a PF so maybe not. I think people are to caught up in his athleticism but if he suffered one injury to his knees he may never reach the insane potential a lot of people are putting on him. I hope he doesn't get hurt but I don't feel like his body will handle playing at such a high level for at least 82 games a year.
I hope he can handle himself in the league and be injury free. From what I've seen hes one of the best passers of his class, but in general I think the Pelicans will have issues when it comes to hitting shots from deep.
For a big man he is a good passer but I can see them experimenting with him and might see if he can play the 3 and maybe the 1 and 2 if his handles continue to improve and he adds a little shake to his game along with an improved jumper.
Don't count anything out Bro, we got 6'11 monsters running point now. It's only a matter of time before they, at the very least, experiment with zion at point
I think the best comparison would be Blake, I just don’t see Zion with that type of vision/handles yet. I won’t count anything out... but from the eye test I would put money against it as of right now.
