I remember the hype coming out of duke, how teams were tanking for him, the “generational” talent/prospect talks. How by this time Zion would either be the straight up face of the league or one of them. Definitely a top ten player and more than likely a top 5 player by now. That basically didn’t happen, he’s been surpassed by other young players since. I legit remember several Who would you rather have going forward Luka or Zion threads. It’s crazy
“The best prospect since lebron” type beat
He really was let’s not pretend. Only maybe AD was better. Lebron is really just different like that
Andrew Wiggins had a lot of hype coming in about being the “Next Lebron”. It was all over magazine covers.
It’s wild how almost every “Next Lebron” type never even comes close.
