Comparing KP to Zion is not exactly apples vs apples.
Whatever you can like or dislike about KP's game, you have to admit that he always put in the work for rehab. You didn't see/hear about big weight gains or not showing for PT. Our problem was that he seemed to be always rehabbing. In fact, reports were that DAL held him out longer to get him more strength training to try and address some of the lower body concerns.
We are farther away from the situation with Zion, but from our vantage point it doesn't look promising for his return any time soon. The fact that he is "rehabbing away from the team" has to mean something, right. Maybe something toxic about having Zion around and not holding up his end of the deal?
I was a little envious that NOP lucked in to such a talent, but thought their small-market team deserved something positive after the AD departure. Now he's starting to look more like an albatross than a pelican.
