Zoon is half of his original size. His physical advantage is nullified. Tari and Amen can guard him now.
Let them play first before you dissect the team like a fucking fish, everything has become just speculation that's lame
Jackson I don't think it matters who's the quote on quote zion stopper we just have to play our game I could say who's the kd stopper or sengun or amen they gon have trouble stopping us the rest comes down to game plans and who's hot shooting the ball and refs which we really can't predict Zion ain't Thanos
Jabari is a great defender, our defense was already great with him on and he defended a lot of bigs. Why wouldn’t he defend zion?
