The fact that the entire nation hasn't turned on Zion yet speaks loudly to just how likable (and good) he is. And how desperate college basketball has been for a massive, marketable star. In the past decade, the number 1 draft picks have been: Blake Griffin John Wall Kyrie Irving Anthony Davis Anthony Bennett Andrew Wiggins Karl Anthony-Towns Ben Simmons Markelle Fultz Deandre Ayton Out of all those guys, Kyrie is the only player you could really say is in the very top tier of marketability + skill, and he missed almost his entire freshman year at Duke.
It's a good day. (Yes I picked Oklahoma) ((Yes I'm also nervous af about Cinci being tied up right now))
they HAVE to stop doing this shit though. Taking this time and giving a team like Cincy a free time out just to see .4 seconds
