    Thank you, you've proven once and for all how useless statistics can be. Do you really believe that any GM would rank Collins anywhere near 5th best among that draft class, in terms of roster building?

    For all the talk of how great a coach Thibs is, he seems to be wearing out his welcome again. He reminds me of Vic Fangio a.k.a. Coach Indigestion. His act grows weary on his players, and he does not develop young players with his terrible rotations. Taj Gibson is his wubby. Who knows if Toppen, or Quickley will ever develop under him. Right now , all they are is uber inconsistant. Stotts had the same problem. The difference between Stotts and Thibs is, one was an offensive specialist, and one is a defensive specialist. Coaches like Billups seem to care about BOTH aspects of the game, and believe in developing the youth.

    Isaac can't even stay healthy. Kuzma? A complete after thought. White? No. Collins would be taken over Hart.

    Zion isn’t playing another game there imo.

    I have a feeling Zion is going to go down as a massive bust because he can't stay healthy and he can't keep the weight off.

    I think he’ll force a trade and want a fresh start.

    But will they bring up Oden more or less because of Zion?

    They already are. Saw a post on Reddit a week or so ago comparing their overall number of games played in their first three seasons. They're basically the same.

    Yeah but so many people called out the issues with Zion and his size before he was even drafted. Nobody was calling out fears about Oden.

    I do recall some concerns over some issue he had with knee soreness/ tendonitis. I remember his college coach being questioned about it several times, but he shook it off mostly.
