Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 3107513, member: 489"] Coach K is a great coach. I do get some of what people are saying but it's a tough time to coach these new kids and the way they play. Problem is they get them for one year so there's no molding them you just throw them out there and hope they listen a little while using their gifts, not easy. For me Zion is a great kid, great freshman player and unbelievably gifted athlete - incredible to say the least. Having said lots to work on. He's a turnover machine when people actually cut him off and make him make plays, hard to do mind you but will be easier at the next level. He looks Barrett in the eyes when they talk so someone is lying about how tall they are LOL. He can't shoot but he's a beast. Will be interesting to watch him in NBA - is it even better for him the way the game is played or tougher because of bigger tougher guys and athletes? I'm not calling it as I don't know but he got away with a ton this year bullying through people to finish, not sure it will be the same or not with the players or the refs in the NBA. I think you almost have to take him #1 but I'm not sure it will work out as it should. [/QUOTE]
