I think he could be really good at that level. Should get a ton more playing time and an opportunity to come into his own. He's got a wealth of athletic talent, and should be a load to handle.

He definitely has a lot of athletic talent. I think Zion is one of those players that has a ton of potential, but wasn't placed in a healthy enough environment for him to shine.A wealth of athletic talent is not how I'd describe him and his top 3 certainly does not conform to that take

His attainable upside is to be a garbage man, role player. Is that a lot of potential?He definitely has a lot of athletic talent. I think Zion is one of those players that has a ton of potential, but wasn't placed in a healthy enough environment for him to shine.
Potential is what you see. I see a 6'8 players that has power with some shooting skills. If he put the work in, he could be a very good 4. He may not be listed at 6'8 but last summer he told me that he is 6'8 and he looks it.His attainable upside is to be a garbage man, role player. Is that a lot of potential?
Sure. If by potential is analogous to possible. It’s possible we win the national championship next year, but we don’t have much potential for that to happen.Potential is what you see.

Regarding a garbage man role player, look at Melvin Ejim. One of the best glue guys out there and he was 6'6. If you ask me, he could be a Melvin Ejim if he worked like a Melvin Ejim. Any garbage player can be great, they just have to embrace the role while working on expanding their game.

I’ve watched Hinsdale South games long before Zion committed, and it’s not surprising Zion didn’t workout here. I don’t fault Prohm for hoping he’d develop into a nice role player, you’ve got to take risks on guys!
You think a D1 guy in HS was “just a basketball player”? Nah, we got the Zion we recruited. The Zion of those two weeks hasn’t really been seen before or after. That article talks about him working hard to improve his shot and handling.?Does it look like he has?https://247sports.com/Article/Out-of-nowhere-Zion-Griffin-sees-stock-explode-105678069/
This is why I thought Zion had a chance. This type of work ethic makes players great. Greatness isn't in your potential, your potential is your physical attributes, greatness is your dedication to seeing what you're capable of. I truly believe that the problem was that this work ethic didn't come along with him when he got to Ames and that is why he is in the position he's in. He was likely just a basketball player when he was in high school. When he got to Ames, he was a highly recruited basketball player. Some players handle success well and some don't.
It doesn't now. That's what I've been saying. He didn't put in the work. Potential is measurables, results is work. With his measurables, if he put in the work like the article says he is capable of, he could have been a star. People don't have a set amount of ability, the more work they put in, the more ability they gain. It sounds like that is where you and I disagree.You think a D1 guy in HS was “just a basketball player”? Nah, we got the Zion we recruited.

yesDid we know that Bryce Drew is now the HC at Grand Canyon (they fired Thunder Dan).
Prohm gushed about Zion at the CF party before the season started, so its made this past season even weirder to understand by his performance.You think a D1 guy in HS was “just a basketball player”?
