Recently, former NBA player Danny Green talked about Zion and Doncic in his podcast "Danny Green x Inside the Green Room".

He said: "I'm not saying that Zion and Luca are in the same situation, but I feel like the version of the story we've heard is similar. You know, Luca has maintained a good figure this summer and played very well for the national team. But once the season starts, there's someone saying, 'Oh, he's gotten out of shape.' That's not the case with Zion, but I think every time he plays in a preseason or media day, he always says, 'Oh, I feel great, I think it's going to be a great season.' But I only believe it when I see it with my own eyes. I need to see it. A complete season where he stays healthy and has a good body shape. "

" It's actually the same as looking at shooting ability. You don't think immediately, just because a player shoots 40% of the shooting percentage in a certain season, 'Oh, he's a shooter.' No, I need to see a stable performance for two or three seasons to believe that you're really invested and really become that kind of player. This standard applies to both Luca and Zion. Unless I see Zion keeping healthy for at least one full season, I won't believe it."
