However, durability is the big question.
Glad to see RJ… hopefully they cut *her screen time 😈
He so t be mvp he will be injured
Zion is the most valuable bench player
No he will not
Always putting the cart before the horse smh. Let's first be glad he's back and hope he stays healthy
My Mvp candidates for this season are
1. Steph
2. Giannis
3. Embiid
4. Luka
5. Lebron
6. KD
7. Jokic
8. Zion
9. Tatum
10. JA but in no particular order tho.
Short answer, yes.
Totally no.please he not even best player on NO
I got Jokic winning MVP over Zion but slightly 👌🏾💯
Nope
He struggles against guys who picks him up half court and it’s still October for fk sakes! Dude is not the same conversation with Embiid, Luka and Giannis yet on MVP talks! Darius Garland is even better than this dude. They need to stop overhyping Zion and put dumbb expectations!
So great to not see Malika andrews in that segment with those former PLAYERS GTEAT JOB ESPN KEEP HER OUT SEND HER TO ONLY COVER THE WNBA
Over Jokic, Embiid, Luka or Giannis? Not a chance
30:54 Let’s just take a minute to appreciate how much time and work she put into these videos?
It's unbelievable, and I think they deserve a lot more than that
Depends what candidate means he mite be like 6 at best he's not top 5 I don't even see him top 8 he don't rebound great or pass great or shoot jumpers he does score at great efficiency
If Zion plays 70 games he's a mvp candidate every season for the next 10 yrs
You have to finish top 3 or 4 to be in consideration. And new Orleans is not a top 4 seed.
Zion still got a lot to prove. Ja is the biggest success from that draft 💯
21:16 Let’s just take a minute to appreciate how much time and work she put into these videos?
It's unbelievable, and I think they deserve a lot more than that
Will he stay healthy long enough to be an MVP candidate. Will the Pels finish Top 4 in the West. A bit presumptuous if you ask me. Let the man play a few games without injury first.
The Pelicans made the playoffs without Zion last season so they shouldn't fallout with him returning
Zion is the type of player that needs a good PG to get him the ball where he can operate primarily in the post. Lonzo was that guy when he was with the Pelicans. I think that might be the biggest question for the Pelicans this season. You have 3 guys (Ingram, McCollum, Zion) who are score first guys. You need a solid pure PG in that type of scenario.
he is more likely to be a Jenny Craig candidate lets be real
He's not even the MVP of his team (that much was proven last season).
No b/c he's getting hurt again. Sam Bowie 3.0.
As a Pelican Fan, Zion should just play offball most of the time. He's more effective in that area let BI run the offense
if zion plays a whole season his chief should the mVp
The New Orleans Pelicans are gonna be good this year🔴🔵⚪️🟤⚜️
Ngl MVP back then was clear winners. Except Shaq and Nash. Shaq got robbed big time but in recent years MVP race been sooooo close it went from like a top 3 and now theres like a top 5
More relevant question:
Will Zion Williams be healthy this season?
He's too big and strong for these skinny guys these days.He blaaack.I would like to see him and a prime Charles Barkley bang in the post😎
