2692132, "What position does he play?" is an antiquated question.

"They're going to make him a 3." No one "makes" anyone a number position anymore. He'll have to defend the perimeter some, sure, but he did that plenty this year and was terrific. He'll have to pop the occasional 3 pointer-- he shot 37% from 3 in ACC play.

And some of his assertions suggest he'd only seen Zion's YouTube stuff. He's posted up and done pick-and-roll stuff this year plenty. His footwork in the post is good. He's a tremendous passer. To say he has no skills... again, suggests that Gilbert saw maybe one of Zion's more transition-based games and drew his conclusions exclusively from that. Or maybe from some mixtape.

But Gilbert also said Bron isn't a #1 option, so Gilbert's accustomed to the Hot Take world.
