If the 51 games Zion has played in his NBA career have told us anything, it's that teams have absolutely no idea how to stop him from getting to the basket.
The detractors love to mention how one-dimensional his game is, yet no other NBA team can figure out how to keep him from getting 25+ points a night while shooting 65% or better.
It's absolutely mind bottling that you don't let him even touch the ball on the last possession with the game on the line. Even if you want him purely as a decoy, let him touch the ball while 3 defenders collapse on him and create an open shot for BI or whoever else you want.
Or, another crazy idea is to give him the ball and let him create. He's done a pretty good job, so far, right?
I just don't get it.
