Midorima top 1

According to their stats overall Midorima would be number 3.

But afaik this doesn't take into account the zone and he is the only one that can't enter the zone, so I'd say he's at the bottom of the list overall then.

Mido didn’t really need the zone to play his game, even in the last game against the foreign team he still shined without needing the zone.

Yeah but overall he's outclassed by them when they enter the zone. In a 1 on 1 he'd likely lose to all of them.

1 vs 1 is not the best measurement of a player in basketball. His ace is quite worthwhile in a game. And for me he has better stamina than someone like Kise.
Kagami managed to block his shoot because he has the highest jumping power in the story. Others aren’t the same.

I think that's the question being asked here. According to the stats they have equal stamina lol.

I wonder what would do the zone to Midorima lol ? Shooting from the parking lot ?
I think the author didn’t use the zone for him because he didn’t know how to increase Midorima abilities without making him too OP and breaking the balance .

Probably speed up the release and allow for non perfect releases to still hit or making every release perfect or smth lol.

Last, with Kise outside of PC being weaker. He's not as well rounded as the others imo. But he's far more consistent. I still believe the reason he didn't show zone is because he is already in a zone by its standard definition, and he would be the most broken character with zone, as he would just be throwing shots in from anywhere without the required form and a faster release. No stopping that.

Hmmm, Midorima’s consistency makes him better than Kise and Murasakibara imo, even if they have higher peaks. Aomine and Akashi are a different case tho
