He is the most overrated player in years. He is not even the best player on his team, Ingram is. And it is not even close. Zion is a fat dunker, immature and unprofessional. He gets hyped for his highlight reels but even if he could stay healthy, which he can't because unprofessional, I don't see anything special in his game. The Shaq-comparisons are also a joke, he is way undersized and can't really bully any legit big. Sorry, I just don't see it.
He's not as good as hyped. Injuries, diet, attitude, personal life, etc. have all attributed to his decline.
He's not a guy you build a franchise around. He's pretty one dimensional. Dunks and scoring in paint.
I dont think he last long in the league. I think it'll be injuries that ruin him.
With all of that said though, IF. And its a big IF. He gets his diet and fitness in order and lands in the right situation, he can be a really good #2 complimentary player for a contending team. I just wouldn't sell the farm to get him.
