Can we nickname Zion Sampson?
Yes, I would like to have seen him do something that represents a new element to his game.
Yes, it was inconsistent, but he had some games where he shot the lights out in the season. We've known he's an explosive athlete since we drafted him and he was dunking like crazy LAST summer league.
Yet he still can't make the pass off the pick and roll.
I know folks want to watch the rest of this game, but I think the risk is there. Given the shock of this quake was felt in Dodger stadium I would call it. Of course it is easy for me to say that with the Pelicans leading.
Zion caused an earthquake folks lol
This is how rumors get started!
I love the variety of ways both commentators are finding to say ''there was an earthquake''
People were singing the praises of Paskal Siakam this season, and the narrative was “he just needed his mind to catch up to his body”. Perhaps Frank is putting it all together, after all, this is only his 2nd year playing.
lol. Come on dude. Jackson made 4 baskets before the injury. Those 4 baskets were:
1. 16ft jumper
2. A short range 2pt shot.
3. A tip in.
4. The dunk you are talking about.
That's it. That's the extent of the FG's he made last year. He wasn't dunking all over the place at all last year.
They don’t have earthquakes in New Orleans, right?

I must have mis-remembered the tip in as another dunk, my bad.
In any case, the whole hype surrounding him when we even drafted him was that he was very athletic and had crazy bounce. That was like, THE thing about him at the time. Acting like the fact that he had some cool dunks tonight is him adding something to his game is just kinda... silly, tbh.
I think the Pels have more room for a point-guard-sized player who isn't an initiator than most teams. They have shot creation and passing with the starting 1, 2, 3, and maybe 4. Kenrich and Miller are good passers for position, Melli looks like a good passer. I loved his aggressiveness taking the 3 off the dribble. If he can leverage that to making a simple roll pass on the pick and roll, I think he gives you enough other stuff to be worth keeping around.
Word on the floor here is the Pelicans and Knicks game will be cancelled. Nothing official has been announced, but New Orleans coaches have left the locker room, and one assistant said the contest is over.

This is good, this is the correct thing to do.
So now we can talk about how Dio is the Tommy Wiseau of music.
I don't think anyone is acting like the only thing he has shown was "some cool dunks" tonight. Eman listed like 3 or 4 things that he has shown to be much better than anything he showed last year. The main one that stood out to me was his off the dribble game.
