Maybe not *more* due to the added height, but I agree that the increased spacing and the more fluid/versatile positioning in today's NBA greatly, greatly benefits what Zion brings to the table.

It's not great, but he improved as the year progressed: 37% from 3 in ACC play, 43% from 3 since he came back from his knee injury. His FTs will need work, but the shooting stroke in general was looking better as the year progressed.

I'd love to see Atlanta take him and then run small ball with Zion and John Collins as the bigs. Shit would be a LOT of fun to watch. They're already running the fastest pace in the NBA, it'd be must-see TV.
