If he had Anthony Davis with him, he could have had a great season. Instead he has Ingram and Lonzo lol… his season will be an only if

This is the problem with the media. You hype up a player like he’s the next LeBron, and then if he ends up more like a Lonzo Ball, you blame him and call him a bust.
He’s 19. Let him live. Let’s wait and see what happens. But stop putting all these expectations on him.

I’ll be watch Alexander Walker bust into the line up quick, that kid is lethal. Passing, ball handling, and 3 point shooting. I expect him and Zion, along with ingram, holiday, and hayes eventually, to make a dominating force, and freaking fast on the break. I’m not sure about ball, and fevers.

Pick one. Either hes top 50 or
hes a 19 year old rookie that needs to develop.
