Barkley picks Lauri and Sabonis over Zion for starter

1. I mean Zion’s numbers arent much better than Lauri’s, and if you considered the missed games, it makes sense.

2. I think something looked over by a lot of media outlets/people is that this team was supposed to be one of the worst, if not the worst teams in the league by expectation. It’s what has made this season so fun.

   The jazz were projected to be nothing, and Lauri has spearheaded them to a ~0.500 record over halfway through the season, with major improvements in so many of his stats. Good to see recognition from such a high profile guy like Chuck.

3. Common Charles W

4. I hate to admit it, but has Barkley become more reasonable in recent years (not just this take)? Or am I just getting old and starting to agree with the grumpy old man?

5. Look at the stat leaders for the league. No Zion to be found anywhere. Why? Because you have to play 70% of games to qualify.

6. Zion is going to be re-evaluated in like 10 days. I doubt he plays
