What else is Zion supposed to say? If he wants to play in the NBA he’s going to end up on a bad team to start his career no matter what.
New Orleans isn’t the best place to go and nobody would blame him if he went back to Duke, but he’ll be in the same boat next season. He might as well get the clock started towards his second contract.
