I dont really see a lot of Zion hype but he is killing it. Is he underrated? People dont like his play style? He can be easily neutralized in playoffs? People desensitized to Zion because of Pre NBA hype?
I guess Ball is on the move for sure.
Zion has great stats, but team sucks. First of all he is terrible on defense. Since he is not a threat from outside, there is basically little choice but give him the ball. Ball is kind of good fit next to him, as he can play off ball. Big question for them is, if it is worth paying most of cap for the core of Zion-Ingram-Ball, that can't even get in the play-in. These last 20 or so games are very important for future of a couple of players, per Hollinger. Ball is one of them.
