[QUOTE="kg01, post: 547652, member: 11"] I haven't watched all their games but I've seen a few. I see the same stuff you do. I just feel like his handle is pretty basic at this stage. By comparison .. and I'll make this unfair comp since folks are saying he's a prospect on this level, Lebron's handle was pretty good as a HS Sr. He was a legit guard. Zion can get from here to there just fine but his handle isn't a high enough caliber for folks to be calling him a sure-thing. Scoring against NBA defenses will be more difficult in general so I surmise he'll have to develop other areas of his offensive game to remain effective. I'm not saying he can't do these things. I'm merely saying he is not the finished product he's being billed as. Giannis is a tremendous athlete but even he has areas to work on. Kevin Garnett famously said at the ASG that Giannis would have to develop a pullup to remain effective offensively in the playoffs. In the regular season, Giannis basically does what he wants in terms of getting to the rim. That dries up in the playoffs as teams lock in on taking things away defensively. Zion will see a similar focus at the next level. He'll just have to keep working and expand his game. [/QUOTE]
