he put up ridiculous steals/blocks numbers in college, the one weird thing about his pro career to date is he has been pretty passive off the ball, i wonder if he isnt kind of spooked about getting injured / maybe nola told him to chill with the flying around the court

yeah that's one of the things that give me a little bit of pause. it could definitely come back but haven't seen it in the pros yet for whatever reason.

idk hes only played 77 games, not sure if ive mentioned that, nba defense often takes a while

The big problem for Zion on defense is his motor imo

Tony snell was 32/32 from FT last season and he’s 11/11 this year. He’s also shooting 52/57 from the field this season on a not entirely minuscule number of attempts.

Oddest loss of the season for the Warriors. Second unit was terrific. 24 from Oubre. 22 from Poole. They were +17 in non-Curry minutes. But Steph Curry has maybe his worst game of the season: 18 points, 7/25 FG, 2/14 from 3, six turnovers, a -21 in loss to Wizards.— Anthony Slater (@anthonyVslater) April 22, 2021

A little late to the convo but Zion's height/length aren't that dissimilar from PJ Tucker but he's quicker and more athletic despite having 40 lbs on PJ. If anything's gonna hold him back from being a great defender it's that he seems like just a really nice guy. He needs to get on twitter to learn the art of getting mad at imaginary takes.
― Fetchboy, Thursday, 22 April 2021 05:28 (three years ago) link
that’s an interesting comparison. i think the main difference is that PJ tucker was able to take (and deal) a lot of punishment down low on defense bcuz the only thing asked of him on offense was to stand in the corner and shoot threes. zion would have to be in great physical shape and have good durability luck to play like that on defense while also being the pelicans’ main ball handler and creator. but maybe on switches or in certain line ups he’s be able to anchor himself in the post the way tucker did
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 22 April 2021 05:34 (three years ago) link
speaking of tucker has he been giving the bucks anything since they acquired him?
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 22 April 2021 05:36 (three years ago) link
He got hurt like one game into his bucks tenure and he’s just getting back.

Couldn't believe Embiid even got off that heave in time but slowed it down and yep he did. I'm unreasonably upset it didn't go in.

it's nate duncan and danny leroux. i think they do a pretty good job. nate sees off-ball actions really well for someone who is also doing play by play.

we need an alternate nerd feed and a comedy feed for each game, is how i break it down to an extent. sometimes they could be same one. i can’t believe that it’s 2021 and it’s like even jomboy represents some unattainable bar for commentary.
