Zion is just a fascinating player to watch and then later look up the stats on. I need more teams to start trapping and hard doubling him before he gets a chance to put the ball on the floor just to see how he learns to counter it. E: I say this because walling him off hasn't worked, playing off him when he catches the ball on the perimeter hasn't worked, coming with a double after he has already started dribbling hasn't worked, etc. Kibner fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Apr 1, 2021 |

Pels without Lonzo, Zion, and maybe Ingram tonight against the Magic. First real injury heavy game of the season for them.

kingcobweb posted:He was terrible even in garbage time two years ago, can’t imagine he’s gotten better. I feel bad for the guy because he was such a unique player with a cool story, but injuries really destroyed his game. The Pels are apparently about to start a cycle of signing 10-day contracts in order to duck the tax line. So they are going with a player like IT where they will/should at least know what they are going to get from them in case they actually have to play them. He may not even play a minute for the team.

Josh Hart will be out for nearly the remainder of the season with a torn thumb muscle/ligament/thing. A UCL injury, iirc.

It looked repeatable. I know they won't keep this up going forward, but it's nice to be happy after a game every once in a while.

Rick posted:League in trouble Apparently Theresa Weatherspoon was able to convince him to actually take a shot like that. The subtext in his answer is that Zion doesn't like to try things in game that he doesn't have full confidence that he has mastered. Which kind stinks. He needs to experiment and see what more he can do. It's understandable because he doesn't want to hurt the team by trying something he fears he isn't good enough at and failing. With that said, Zion brought the ball up 35 times last night. SVG said that this is going to be more of a regular occurrence. Also, Hayes looked comfortable out there on the perimeter against non - bully forwards. Maybe he is the PF of the future and not the center? Working on his corner 3 and it don't look bad, either.

MourningView posted:And I guess maybe Rip would turn all those mid range jumpers into threes and be fine, he was a good free throw shooter and made lots of long twos so he could probably stretch out, the shot profile he had was just already kinda weird back then and flat out doesn't exist now Ingram enthusiastically takes those kinds of shots now, though he doesn't get them the same way Rip did.

MourningView posted:Yeah Rip was doing a lot of running around pin downs and poo poo like JJ Reddick but to set up foul line jumpers instead of threes, Ingram is more traditional star iso ball stuff. Yeah, agreed. I was mostly talking about shot location stuff where Ingram hunts for those 10-15 foot shots on the baseline, elbow, and free throw line.

Bip Roberts posted:My biggest problem with Zion as MIP is that while his game got better the biggest difference this year is his health, not quality of play. I don't think it's wholly unreasonable. He is scoring more and more efficiently, while assisted less, with fewer turnovers, more assists, better rebounding, better defense (while still bad). He still shouldn't get MIP because he is a second year player.
