Zach is 29 now. We saw him in the playoffs when he was 26. Are we expecting him to be better in the playoffs when he’s in his 30s?
Zach does play defense. Every high usage player gets injured, with a couple of rare exceptions who are considered iron man unicorns. Yes, I expect him to play better in the playoffs the more playoff experience he gets, like most players.
Most high usage players have more than 4 seasons where they played 65 games. Most high usage players have played in more than 4 playoff games. Most high usage players play worse in the playoffs in their 30s.
Every team in the league has a high usage player. 14 of them don't make the playoffs.
Everything you said ranges from completely false to completely unsubstantiated. But I guess if you say it...
