isnt it already impossible for him to be a bust? lol

30 or 50 games into his career. Absolutely not too early

[shel311]

Still don't see him as a HOF type guy...just some all star appearances is all

[shel311]

Yes, obviously.

He's not going to magically regress and turn into Anthony Bennett.

poor shell, so in love with Zion. The Pels are just going to break your heart. Break up with him now.

[shel311]

Nah, I already know I got about 5-6 seasons max of Zion on my team.

Pels going down in history... Emphasis on going down.

From @EliasSports: The Pelicans' 18-point loss is the worst by ANY team in the shot clock era (since 1954-55) that led by 10+ entering the 4th quarter

It's because zion can't get a rebound or a mid range ahot

The game had next to nothing to do with their offense. Chris Paul destroyed Ball, Hart.. anyone that tried to get in front of him... and the Suns shot something like 60% from 3 on 40 attempts. Sometimes crazy shit happens.

in fantasy keeper ball i have a bad situation (4 keepers) so i dealt Tobias Harris/Draymond (throw in) to this guy for Pascal Siakim. now i have Myles Turner / Nurkic / Murray and Siakim. Fox/Lonzo/Anthony Edwards on the outside and potential trade bait, or i might try and keep Edwards (or Fox or Both) and try and flip Myles/Murray for a superstar.

[ReignOnU]

I like the idea of flipping Myles/Murray for a superstar. You've got a deep squad that'll will contribute for a long time... Turner/Murray aren't so far over average that you wouldn't be much better off with 1 great player and taking a stab to backfill.

[wdoupis]

4 keepers, that’s way too much

[nick]

ya ive suggested 3 but im new so i dont exactly have pull.

[shel311]

Ah, good old DFS.

Decided to fire it back up tonight after a couple of years ago. 2 lineups, my main lineup has Lamelo Ball, who has averaged 21ppg in his last 9, and his worst output was 16 points(actual not fantasy)

Hornets are at the half and Lamelo has... 0 points. Fun!

At least you weren't like a lot of my opponents tonight and had Curry in, but couldn't swap him.

[shel311]

Yea, seems it did balance out since I had Oubre and he obviously benefitted.

[wdoupis]

Zach Lavine gets the all-star bid, well deserved. He has taken some massive steps this year

[shel311]

Zion youngest All Star since Lebron James.


Still might be a bust though!

He will. He's a dunker, that is all. He's not a #1 on any team trying to make a serious playoff push. He might not even be a great #2. This will never change until he can become at least a 2 dimension threat on offense (don't think he'll ever be a threat behind the line)

For his physical abilities and size he should be getting at least 10 boards a game.

[shel311]

Yea, rebounds are holding him back

George is acting like he's 137 years old right now.

[shel311]

He's a dunker, that is all

13% of Zion's makes are dunks. That ranks him 33rd in the league.
