He has though. He is starting these games which means most of his minutes are coming against starter/top role players on these teams.

Yes and no.

Again, it's only the preseason. Zion looks absolutely phenomenal but he hasn't played against a team that's tried really.

It's pre-season. I think he's going to be a beast. But let's see how he does in regular season games, playing regular season minutes in games that actually matter.

I also expect he'll get off to a strong start. I want to see what happens when he is seeing teams a 2nd and 3rd time when they have a book on him.

Thing is he isn't doing anything special. He is just a beast in the paint. Hard to stop that especially when the ball isn't in his hands a lot.

I'm sure that he is and will continue to be. I'm also sure he'll start the season strong. But, teams will figure out how to defend him and the NBA is a much longer season than he played in college.

He'll have to adjust and learn, just like all rookies.

No Steph, D'Angelo or Draymond Green for the Warriors tonight.
No Lebron or AD for the Lakers.

This could either be a very interesting game or boring as fuck.

Well they play 2 more times this week so makes sense why both teams are resting some guys

I disagree. Pelicans are too low

Yeah, that seems weird to me. You have the biggest name coming out of college and 2 former #2 picks that were just traded there. They should be fun too watch.

Lonzo and Zion could be a modern day Stockton and Malone.

Hmmm. :think:

I didn't know you smoked crack, TF.

Lol. You have a PG who is a great passer and a PF who looks like he may be a great finisher. Not saying they'll both be hall of famers like Stockton and Malone. But they could be a very good duo for a long time. Especially if Lonzo has fixed his shot.

They've got the Hawks at #17. That may be a little too high.

Heh... ok, fair enough.

I can't come down on you too hard... I personally got Carsen Edwards in the HoF already... he's a mix of Eddie House, Allen Iverson and Jesus Christ.
