Not sure how many minutes he played because he was in foul trouble early.
I was expecting a offensive package of scoring and you showed me 2 dunks.
Flagg athleticism is great, I will be sold when he starts hitting that jumpshot. His game will go to the next level if he gets that jumpshot.
We just going to ignore the carry and double dribble
Dudes will never learn. Easily the #1 pick in this draft. zero rings wrote:Papi_swav wrote:he's a tremendous talent, hes a do it all type player that'll fill up the stat sheet.

Ace Bailey is averaging 0.7 assists in 33 mpg. That is insane.
He's not going to be a go-to scorer in the NBA if he can't read the floor at all.

Modern day offenses requires your primary scorer to be able to read a defense and make the right play. Bailey can't do that at all.
yea but that can be taught with time in the NBA like every other star had to adjust. Becoming a top level scorer is a lot harder to become. Ace is already a top level type scorer

PER of 26.3
Win share of 3.2
BPM - 14.2 (wtf)
OBPM - 6.6
DBPM - 7.6
These are monster numbers for any college basketball player, let alone an 18-year-old freshman still figuring it out along the way.

It is ok to admit we were wrong, we were all wrong, most people feared he could be injury prone and they were right on that, but we didn't know he would get fat, forget that he averaged 4 stocks in college and just be Zach Randolph with ball handling...
I think there's a difference in having a unique body/athleticism combo and being generational as a talent. I personally was pretty high on what Zion could be on the court(if he could keep his weight down and avoid more injuries but that seemed somewhat unlikely even 4 years ago). I don't think he had true generational talent though in terms of what would translate to an nba court. I feel like his ceiling was pretty much consistent top 5-10 player for much of his prime. Generational is 3-5x mvp and makes people rethink what a player is capable of doing. I never bought into the idea that Zion was going to have high two way impact with his body size which is what he needed on top of developing a decent outside shot and being able to play 33+mpg without looking dead out there.
