I'm sure Zion wants to shoot threes at an effective average too, but that won't be necessary in his game. Again, you want to compare him with other NBA stars.
Well compare him to HOF Dennis Johnson who was a 5X all-star, 3X NBA Champion, 2X All-NBA, but he was 9X Best NBA Defensive Player, and how many PPG did he need? To do all that he averaged 14 PPG on 44% FGA and 17% 3PA.
Again you want to compare superstars to Zion but that's like saying Shaquille needs to work on his Free Throws because they'll foul him until he makes them. He can't be a potential superstar otherwise? C'mon now
Cmon man.
@Rex Racer said he needed to fix his shot because he isn't a good shooter. True story.
You asked why and posted his FG% at Duke, which is laughable.
I am not trying to compare him to anybody. You are doing that.
And Dennis Johnson? Are you joking here? A defensive minded PG who played in the 80s? I can guarantee you one thing. DJ would not be an allstar today without a revamped offensive game. Just not possible.
Zion can be a good player, maybe even a great one without a good jumpshot. But he will leave points on the court if he never develops that area of his game because I promise he won't shoot 80% in the paint in the NBA.
You arguing that he doesn't need to work on it because it isn't necessary shows a lack of understanding. I guarantee Zion himself will strongly disagree with your take here.
