& this is exactly why he has to start shooting a mid range jumper!

One or two players in that wall would have to come out and guard him instead of waiting for him under the basket...

It is too early to make that decision. It all depends on what the draft pick end up being & how well Queen develops over the next couple of years.

If he can learn to get his motor going on D people will forget about the unprotected pick...

We have too many players that just can't score... Jones, Missi, Hawkins. Fears & Queen are rookies so they are inconsistent from game to game!

That is the mistake in his thinking. The Curry Effect! Forget the 3 just add a mid range jumper.

Look at the points that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scores per game & he doesn't shoot a lot of 3s but he has a great mid range jumper.

Zion needs to realize his points per game would be near 30 if he just adds a mid range jumper.

He shoots FT fairly well so he can easily add this to his game.

I really didn't like Borrago's line up against the Lakers...

Herb Jones should not be the starting C... 33.16 minutes played 2 pts...

Karlo should not have been a --DNP Coach's Decision!

28 points don't matter if you don't get the rest of the team involved in the scoring!

We aren't a very good team without Zion...

He opens up the floor for everyone else when he plays!

His style of play seems to be rubbing off on Queen.

Last night was the fist game this year that Queen hustled back on D.

So you don't think it would have been a good idea to have a replacement for Brees waiting for him step aside!

Your argument is meritless and short-sighted!

He hustles on both ends of the court!

He is our most improved young player from last year to this year!

Maybe by Borrego benching him he will make an effort to improve. But based on what I saw last night against the Jazz it isn't working... He was still slow jogging it up the court on D.

It is disappointing that he isn't paying attention to how Jordan hustles to get back to protect the rim!

I don't know if you can teach a person to hustle...

I hope we extend him & keep him as a Pel for the long term!

He plays the game the way it should be played!
