Ok---you take Ja---Ill take zion.If you were starting a college basketball team, would you take Ja or Zion first?
After watching this game, I think that is a legit question. Zion is more dominant but Ja makes his teammates better enough that I think I might take him.

You’d sprint down the court if you knew there was a great chance you’d get an easy layup too. If you’re open that guy is finding youIt’s crazy how fast Murray State gets down the court with Morant’s passing.
Charlie Moore is up for grabs----hate to give him up but......he did score 37 in a game for cal.Ok---you take Ja---Ill take zion.

The number of "fans" who, in late-March, are just now being Wow'd by Ja is hilarious.
I'm embarrassed by some of my Twitter follows.
We're incredibly lucky that they won the OVCT, bc his coach schedules like a chump.
((And don't hit me with that bs
Nobody Will Play Them))
Has bust written all over him
How did cal miss on this kid? Right under his nose
He's from SC, not KY.
This is from December but I'm sure it still holds largely true. Dude is a freak but the vast majority of his shots are at the rim.Zion is shooting like 7,000% from the field.
That profile is hilarious.
Seriously. I understand some of the big boys not getting involved but there are plenty of smaller schools in the Carolinas that could have nabbed him.That profile is hilarious.
Damn brooky, may need to get your eye tuned up but I think you're joking.
Zion is Blake griffin with more hype, more supporting talent, and a better coach.Zion is shooting like 7,000% from the field.

I bet Blake averaged more than 2.0 fouls per game as well. But I think that was addressed with the......coachingGriffin was a better rebounder in college, I'll give him that. But Zion shoots 76% on his 2-pt attempts, whereas Blake at 66% (which is still really solid, of course). Also, Zion is a much better defender - 2 blocks/steals per game (leads the ACC in steals) and he's one of the 4 finalists for National Defensive POY.
Much more efficient. Better defensively. Blake was awesome but what Zion is doing is unprecedented, as a freshman not sophomore.

Zion (2018/19 @ age 18) - 22.1 pts, 8.9 reb, 2.1 ast, 2.2 stl, 1.8 blk, 69% fg, 65% ft, 32% 3pt
Griffin (2008/09 @ age 19) - 22.7 pts, 14.4 reb, 2.1 ast, 1.1 stl, 1.0 blk, 66% fg, 59% ft, 38% 3pt
This isn’t meant to disparage Zion, but it’s valuable to consider when drafting him. I think Barrett and Morant will be better pros for sure. Zion can’t shoot and will have health problems. However, he could be the next face of the league which is more lucrative than actually winning.
The bigger story is that Ja and Zion are from South Carolina, yet they do not play for South Carolina.
Frank Martin should be fired.
