What’s your thought on Zion’s upside?
Conditt is just in the middle of his sophomore season, so in theory he could surpass McKay, but it’s far from certain. They have similar weaknesses and seem pretty similar imo, particularly if Conditt continues to only play half the game.
I have no inside information on any of these guys, just potential. Conditt's guard abilities give him just a chance to be better than McKay. Watching in summer league, it looks like he can shoot it, although definitely doesn't have the green light this time of the year. McKay had no shot though (and Conditt is the better free throw shooter as well).
Zion's athletic ability gives him a lot of upside, but that flat shot won't get him very far. (Almost seems like Prohm didn't have him working on that for a long time which is strange.) Also shot selection hasn't been great so far, but if he can know down a few shots (and I don't like this reference but like we were all saying nooooo Hogue don't shoot it right now and it goes in kind of guy.) Also would help if he felt a little more comfortable off the dribble. His floater we have seen a couple times has been pretty smooth. But right now this offense isn't asking him to do much and his defense leaves a lot to be desired.
