Cam's enormous three point rate (still higher than Trae Young last year) is the main thing keeping his offensive projection high. He's been dropping though, from +10 after 3 games, to +8 last week, to +4 now, so I imagine his days in the top 5 of my rankings are numbered.
Like Cam, Norvell is being buoyed by a high three point rate so far, and his tidy 2:1 assist:TO ratio helps him too. Not crazy to think he has point guard potential, and big PGs who can shoot are pretty rare.
As @priceFTW has pointed out, Zion doesn't stand out as a shooter or a facilitator, and great offensive players are usually one of those two things. Where he does stand out is as an interior scorer, but my draft rater struggles with elite interior scorers because it's hard to differentiate from a guy who's just an efficient lob target (low offensive ceiling) and a guy like Zion who's actually driving and scoring efficiently on his own (high offensive ceiling). That's reflected in the enormous uncertainty in Zion's rating (+/- 6.8).
Makes sense.....yeah, it's amazing how the tiers have just caved in to each other after 15-20% of the regular season.
Seems like one of the drafts that 3-9 could be like 2009, where 3 of the best players can just go anywhere in that range.
Will be interesting to see who rises and who falls as conference play starts.
