The NBA has done a survey of debutants and, although they give Zion as Rookie of the Year, they don't consider him even in the top three in the long term.

The NBA has made public its already classic survey among the players that will debut in the League next season. In it they ask several questions, mostly about themselves, from which the idea that this group of players have about the teammates with whom they are going to disembark in the NBA.

The main question, who is going to be Rookie of the Year, leaves no room for surprise. Although, yes, the thing is more even than expected between Zion Williamson (1st) and Ja Morant (2nd). But where the news comes, the truly unexpected is when they respond to who will have the best career in the NBA. When the long-term factor comes into action it seems that the rest of the rookies do not trust Zion. It is the fourth, with only 5% of votes and tied with three other players.
