bro the zion we saw at duke does not even compare to the person he is in the nba. Dude, I really miss Duke Zion when he was unstoppable. Really hope he can find his groove in the league.
Zion is like a lazy Zack Randolph skillset wise. The pelicans are cursed. I would just start over and trade shop. Cj McCollum , Ingram and Zion all should leave. Build around Murray and Trey Murphy III and draft players who WANT to play.
One of the things Sam Hinkie did right is that if he had a first round pick who had a clear development ceiling, he was trading them early at the peak of the value for new assets (MCW). I think Pelicans should have been smarter in reading motivation + physical problems, and get a couple of young players + picks for him after his second season.
That's the reasonable thing to do but I don't seen the franchises bold enough to blew thing sooner, they must wait to see it crash and burn first. They don't have the balls to get rid of the Zions and Embiids
love the vid, 1 point I'd like to make though is that Zion is not a great rebounder. As a PF his career high is 7.2 rpg (this year is 8rpg on small sample size)
When i criticize a star a part of me still would love to have that star on my team like Luka hell wtf is wrong with his defense but i'd love him on my team no doubt then theres ant with all his yapping and arrogance but zion nope i dont want him same with embiid lol
The problem is Zion is using his body like a 6'0 point guard. Joints and cartilage with a body that size simply won't hold up. The human body was not meant for it.
From 2019: "They have plenty of gas but need to train how to use the brakes.” "Yes, Williamson can recover in six to eight weeks, perhaps making it through this season without further problem. However, more concerning is what this means for the long-term health of his knee. For someone that is going to run, jump and cut, the meniscii and cartilage of the knee are very important. Especially when that someone is 284 pounds."
I agree with everything in this video I was on the toilet saying the pelicans should tear it all down start anew they have nothing to show with cast of players , only person I would keep is Brandon Ingram unless they make a deal I can’t so no to.
Tatum being the exception. Dude is mature as fuck, plays over 75 games a year and is durable af, and has an all around well rounded superstar game with zero ego
Tbf being a no. 1 pick is overrated nowadays because of the overall skill level of nba players. AD, Kyrie and Wiggins are the recent no. 1 picks to ever win a ring but they had lebron and steph to help them.
Zion needs to use his resources to figure out a diet and training regimen to address the issues in his mechanics. Take the time out, figure it out. His ceiling is ridiculous. Zion plus a cleverly built team is worth at least 1 championship, and/or many playoff runs. No fitness however, no rhythm, no progress. What about Zion on the Spurs? They get him on the cheap and rebuild him?
Dejounte Murray is a terrible player. Can’t shoot,weak handle, can’t throw lobs and he’s a bad defender, he has regressed so much defensively over the past 4 years it’s not even funny
@@And.One.Hoops1someone who is available is a upgrade. By the deadline depending on records anything could happen. They could have Embid, who knows.thats if they’re even shopping him
@@Steeezzzzz I disagree. No one believes in this team despite individual pieces that could be useful elsewhere. Also, no one is trading for Embiid or Zion. They are flat out liabilities in terms of roster construction/salary.
@@illDefine1just an example doesn’t matter who that wasnt the point. You rebuild to get in a situation the pelicans are in right now. Not to get there & start over because life isn’t perfect. Idiotic. 2 top 3 picks one of them being one of most hyped prospects ever, you cant make this work its a skill issue.
Many people don't understand the idea of a negative asset. Zion has little value. You understand what it's like to pay deep $$$ for someone who never plays ... you think the Bulls don't?
@@jangecekjange3525 its an over pay non the less, and zion aint coming back till his duke days, he doesnt have the heart. His goal Line was the rookie max.
zion should be drummed out of the league he clearly doesn't have any desire to put in the work
His duck walk is an early indication of failure
bro the zion we saw at duke does not even compare to the person he is in the nba. Dude, I really miss Duke Zion when he was unstoppable. Really hope he can find his groove in the league.
It’s been like 5 years bro. Literally. Why are we even still talking about this guy?
@@Austin-l1jit’s pathetic that the media refuses to tell It like It is about him and embiid. They’re lazy slobs that nobody wants.
He still plays like he played at Duke sbulldogging towards a dunk He's just never healthy to see him do that
@@angelcanez4426So you’re saying his game hasn’t developed new repertoire. Proved the vid right. Zion just a couch potato.
dude, it's f*cking over...

Bring Zion home to Charlotte. Was a living legend growing up in Carolina
If Zion was like a RPG video game his perk would be he's nearly unstoppable for 60% of the season. 😂
Good video, good thoughts. I have hopes for Zion to rise back up
🔥 sale
Zion is a great rebounder? Cmon man. I thought you watch basketball.
Have you seen his rebounding numbers? Specifically his rebounding %?
@ have you watched his games in their entirety?
Shut up Reggie. Just bring marcus’ daughter back before 10pm.
Great is kind of stretching it. Honestly he could get more for his size and athleticism.
@ Jamal said he’s a great rebounder not me.

💯
He can’t really use his body like a big man either cause he’s lowkey short as a PF

It’s over for Zion, the man is not that guy but gets paid top dollar, it’s over
In 2k I traded 3 of their 4 highest paid players and built around Jamal Cain. It's working fine 😂😂
I think Kawhi is a more severe case than Zion
Yeah but Kawhi lasted far longer and reached more accomplishments
I agree with everything in this video I was on the toilet saying the pelicans should tear it all down start anew they have nothing to show with cast of players , only person I would keep is Brandon Ingram unless they make a deal I can’t so no to.
Why do seemingly all Duke players have major issues once they hit the NBA?
Overly active sex during the college days
Tatum being the exception. Dude is mature as fuck, plays over 75 games a year and is durable af, and has an all around well rounded superstar game with zero ego
That's a good question. Duke has top talents from high school every single year, and all of them look much worse in the NBA.
@ou8428 He doesn't deserve the hate he gets
that's 🎓 Kyrie also went to Duke and he has a ring
Tbf being a no. 1 pick is overrated nowadays because of the overall skill level of nba players. AD, Kyrie and Wiggins are the recent no. 1 picks to ever win a ring but they had lebron and steph to help them.
Wiggins and AD do not belong in the same category

Not Houston, please stop.
Eh?
I honestly don’t give a shit
Then why make a comment at all lol
Then why exist at all lol
They why did u make a comment
Your a menace to society

Zero work ethic, waste of a talent
Rebuilding at this stage is ridiculous & is way too extreme for a team this deep with talent. Trading Zion for a upgrade is more likely
What upgrade are you going to get for a trade with Zion?
@@And.One.Hoops1someone who is available is a upgrade. By the deadline depending on records anything could happen. They could have Embid, who knows.thats if they’re even shopping him

Kamala of the nba
What does that even mean? Lol
@ Media told you they were great, but when it was time to show it, they fall apart into a blubbering mess
Ahhh ok
Let the Bulls offer Vucevic and Zack Lavine for Zion Williams and that's it. The best combination.
Lavine and lonzo
Why the f would the bull's offer them a kings ransom, for a player who never playes, and is s negative on the whole. You must be a pelicans fan.
Many people don't understand the idea of a negative asset. Zion has little value. You understand what it's like to pay deep $$$ for someone who never plays ... you think the Bulls don't?
@PrebenHPedersen Because my Bulls need a change and so does Zion. I still have faith in him that he can be the player we expect.
