The Raptors leaving Trey (and other shooters) wide open to build a wall to stop Zion is why I’ve said I don’t know if you can actually space the court for him.
You just need guys to make teams pay for doing it. Trey and the Pels shooters are making the Raptors pay tonight – 9:14 PM

68-45 Pels at half. Trent Jr. with 13, IQ with 11. Raptors have no answer for Pels who are better in every area. NO is 10/22 on wind-up threes and are shooting 55% overall. Murphy with 16 off the bench (4/6 from three) while Zion and Herb Jones each 28 on 15 combined shots. – 8:33 PM

Zion Williamson just got fouled, walked over to the Raptors’ bench and shook Garrett Temple’s hand.
Very intense and competitive stuff. – 8:17 PM

RJ Barrett is matched up with Zion Williamson to start. He’s giving up 70 pounds to his former Duke teammate. – 7:41 PM

It’s Quickley, Trent, Agbaji, Barrett and Olynyk for Toronto against McCollum, Jones, Ingram, Williamson and Valanciunas for New Orleans. That’s a significant size issue between the sides – 7:10 PM

Here’s a fun fact: the last time Zion Williamson played basketball in Canada it was for Duke against University of Toronto. RJ Barrett was his teammate. They won (Duke did). – 6:20 PM
