Ya that's going to happen. Guy is what 6'6 and taking it into the chest of all those guys in the paint. Last night Brook Lopez and The Freak were taking turns guarding him and he got doubled every take. I think when you lead the league in points in the paint you can expect to get your shit stated a bunch. Just like Nash/AI/Kidd usually were leading the league in turnovers.
Weird stat: Zion has had his shot blocked more than any other player in the league. 66 times. ZBo never got his shit swatted and he was athletic as fuck!
Zbo and Zion actually have been blocked on roughly the same % of shots inside 10 feet (14% range) early in their careers. And Zbo didn't take nearly the amount of shots directly at the rim.
26.3/7.0/3.5 With a PER of 29.26 Just wait til he gets in shape FAMS! This post and my opinion in no way reflects that of the Trail Blazers, NBA, Adam Silver or Dr. James Naismith
It's nice that he's finally playing himself into game shape. I was concerned about his weight there for a bit. I still think he could turn into the next Oliver Miller though.
The dude is a walking hunk of muscle as far as I can see. He’s a unique player. If he ever perfects his outside shooting he’s going to be unstoppable. He pretty much is already.
He is not a bad 3pt shooter, just doesn't pull the trigger much from long. There is little question he will ~lead the league in FG% for multiple years in the future.
