Finally! I had started wondering whether he would pull a Simmons and sit out the entire season.

Can Zion win the ROY by only playing about half a season? Thoughts?

How? I think it's Ben Simmons by a mile!

I guess he can, but imo it seems unlikely. I mean, Embiid was hands down the best rookie in 2017, yet he lost to Brogdon.

Chances are that Zion will play more games than Embiid did that season, but he's facing stronger competition. Ja Morant is killing it for the Grizzlies.

I don't think he will get 40 gms under his belt. He won't play B2B I presume.
And then even if he brought an Embiid level of rookie impact it still won't be enough, as Ja Morant is better than Embiids Brogdon.
Zion is a huge question mark to me contrary to the majority of the fandom.
He can't walk in a correct manner (he waddles), he is also about 30-35 lbs overweight, is a poor shooter, has average length.
Can he stay healthy long enough to fix all of these areas that require improvement?
Not saying it can't happen, but I am not as convinced as others.
