    You mean the guy that dribbles to much and uses up the shot clock?

    Zion already injured his ankle again. No way he can stay healthy.

    Maybe not an injury injury.
    New Orleans Pelicans small forward Zion Williamson (ankle) said he will play in Wednesday's season-opener against the Brooklyn Nets.

    On one hand, you love to see players attack the basket and punish the opponent, but on the other hand, you are also increasing the odds of punishing your own body. That is why we tend to see players settle for jump shots as they get older.

    Which is why we knew that Westbrook's game was not going to age well.

    The only players that age well are the shooters usually.

    And Dame is a shooter so why worry about him being too old when Sharpe becomes an All Star.

    He was projected as a lottery pick much of last year. He's taller/ skinnier than Chet, and arguably a better shooter, but lacking everywhere else. Potentially a good complement to Sarr.
