That looked like a good block by Theis.
And, yeah, I think Zion is incredibly overrated and not at the level of Brown or Tatum.
He's a 20 year-old averaging 25/7/3 while shooting over 60% from the field. Brown and Tatum are years older than him and only just eclipsing that statistically. Slow your roll
Eh, I take both of them over Zion every day of the week, as they're both two-way players, much more versatile, and don't have the long-term health and longevity concerns that Zion does.
It's definitely fair - I probably do too. But I doubt Zion is done improving
Oh, for sure. He's going to be a very good player, but I think he'll top out at Blake Griffin level.
I'm mostly concerned with his long-term longevity at his size and style of play. No way his legs last that long doing that much activity and jumping with that weight, especially already having some knee issues.
Yeah I do think the biggest question for Zion is the health and if that'll hinder him long term (maybe not now, but can he keep playing at a high level past say, 30 years old).
Between the three though, Zion definitely has the highest ceiling.
Eh, I think I disagree with that. I think that's definitely Tatum.
People always look to who is the most athletic with the best size for having the highest ceiling. But Tatum's elite-level shot creation and footwork is every bit as much of an inherent, virtually unattainable asset as something like elite athleticism and size. This is especially true given that Tatum also has good size/length for his position and decent athleticism, too.
