On the other hand Ben Simmons has dealt with a lot of the same questions and he hasn't exactly been able to put those to bed.
It's really hard to tell from the outside what's going on in a player's head. What we do know is that Zion is All-NBA level when he's played, figuring out how frequently that will be in the future is supposedly why the GMs are the ones making the big bucks.

All good points.
Re "hard to tell... what's going on in a player's head," guys can generally do whatever they want in their personal lives as long as they're not hurting anybody or doing things like Morant... but when we're not sure what's going on between the ears, the hanging-with-porn-stars & the associated drama is not quite helpful in that respect
