I'd say that's some low bars for Zacch. Even the Mikal Bridges comp is a bit low. Zacch was hovering around 40% from 3 and 50% from the field overall over the last 3 months. The analysis seems to suggest that he'll be an effective two way player for sure. I believe him and Dyson will take turns being the 3rd option. Could Zacch not be more Tatum than Bridges?

My comparison is Tatum.

I'm glad you see it.

Lets see if Zac can mirror Tatum's first 3 years.....

Would like to see him bulk up like what Kobe, Smoove, TMac, Anthony Davis did over 1 summer, when they were 20.

According to Hawks PR, he became the youngest Atlanta Hawk ever to record 500 points, 150 rebounds, 50 assists, and 50 three-pointers on February 7th.

It's not realistic, but man...imagine a player with Giannis' size & agility plus Klay's skill, shooting & fundamentals.

Kevin Durant is a good comparison.

KD and Giannia to San Antoino would be fun to watch.

I hope Dalton Knecht gets traded out of LA and it will be official this time. He deserves better.

Scores 37 points his rookie season and he is a legit talent.

My thoughts exactly.
This crossed my mind several weeks ago.

Zacch needs a minimum of 30 mpg and 15 field goal attempts per game next season.
