If you could pick one to build a team around who would it be?? Watched all three recently and I gotta say as impressive as Ja and Zion are athletically I gotta go with Luka . Don’t ever remember a player being that polished at such a young age .

I agree he is good but way too much showboating for me.Not saying he’s up there with those 3, but Trae Young is pretty impressive too. Good year for rookies.

What’s the difference?Zion will increase a team's talent level as well as their record... Luka will increase the production of the players around him.

No way because you are going to have build a part of the team around Luka to cover for his defensive deficiencies. Zion is a potential two-way beast especially if he can get about 20 lbs. of that weight off. Many people think there is no defense played in the NBA. However, you have to play your man well enough where a team is not attacking you in the same area every time.Meaning it may be easier to build a team around Luka with lesser talent.

Yes, Gentry has him playing Center a lot especially against the small ball teams. His strength keeps bigs away from the basket. I watch a lot of all these guys on League Pass and Zion definitely has the best defensive potential of the four mentioned in this thread. Luka is a lot like Steph. He has the splash offensive plays, but you have to have the meat and potatoes defensive guys like Draymond Green and Klay Thompson for it to work. People tend to mention Luka a lot for the Mavericks because he does the scoring and handles the ball. However, if they are really ever going to do anything, Porzingis is the player they need to get healthy and breakthrough. He shows something on the defensive end along with a skilled offensive game.Do you believe Zion can guard every position?
You guys like NBA??...great athletes but you are allowed to take three steps and not be called for travelling , not play team basketball ,star players get special treatment etc,etc.
Absolutely love it. People tend to make excuses to me because their type of players may not be successful in the league. I just love basketball and I don't get it that people like one level a sport and not another because of a rule change here or there or that guys make a lot a money at the top level. If you are one of the Top 300 in the World at anything I would you hope you would make money doing it.You guys like NBA??...great athletes but you are allowed to take three steps and not be called for travelling , not play team basketball ,star players get special treatment etc,etc.
Luca in his 2nd year is averaging-
2019
DAL
51 GP
33.1 MPG
28.4 PPG
45.9 FG%
9.4 RB
8.7 AST
This is better than any of the others mentioned. I take Luca since the OP wanted to know who you build around.
As an individual talent - Ja for me! The jury is still out on Zion in my mind. But, he has the most upside IMHO.
Good question!
