Where did I imply ever tall kid makes it?

“Bron’s kid will definitely make the nba if he keeps growing”

“Bron’s kid will definitely make the nba if he keeps growing”

Because he's very talented

Ain't just cuz he's tall breh

 

[Guess Who]

@Guess Who See let em get a few games under his belt going into the season...

35 pts (15-25 FG) 9 boards

I trust him cuz of his mentality and the people around him wont let him get comfortable...

His mentality is his greatest attribute imo. He is hyper competitive and relentless. I just want to see him use both hands and shoot better. I’m pulling for him especially since he and my lil bro used to play on the same squad in Brampton.

This same thought popped in my head, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing because he’s stronger than Derozan ever was physically, smarter and is WAY more competitive. If Derozan had those qualitities he’d still be a Raptor.

lol derozan might be a few things but he isnt dumb, weak or uncompetitive. relax

 

[CarbonBraddock]

this guy is pretty good but he came to my rec center a couple minutes ago and was feastin in the post til i demanded the switch and once i put that forearm on his back, he had no answers and faded into oblivion. like, this mufukka couldn't even get the goddamn ball back once i decreed the shyt. still think he might be able to make it to the league though and hope for the best for him but he will have to develop game beyond the physical.

After watching two preseason games I’m wondering if Zion will eventually play the 2 Guard. His handles are looking way better than expected

Imagine him matching up with college or even NBA 2 guards

Him and another big athletic 3 would create all types of match up problems

 

[Art Barr]

You really out here shytting on Duke, saying Zion should play the 2, and comparing him to Len Bias

Zion was just barely six four a while a go.
So how was he not combo guard height at best then.
You still don't run him at the four and try to force him to be corliss Williamson. When Zion is an excellent passer and excellent as far as handles and equal unselfish distribution.

Zion is the wing forward position being amplified to another brutual but beautiful finesse dribble drive above the rim power based style as a player. Plus he has an outside game that extends expertly to the mid range and beyond to three as well.

Kid is the next level for real.
Only negative is possible duke funk besides that.
Zion is the generational talent of this gen's lifetime.

After tonight's game Jay Bilas (listed at 6'8) stood beside Zion and looked close to the same height....Zion is prob a legit 6'6

Haha me saying RJ is better in those attributes doesn’t equate to Derozan being weak in those areas. But I would say that Derozan isn’t a very smart player and he’s average in terms of strength. He also isn’t super competitive in my opinion as evidenced by his comments after getting bounced by Lebron for three straight years.

I’m not a big fan of Derozan and always felt he wasn’t as good as he was billed to be in NBA circles.

Lol, so which is it are they close to the same height or is he 2 inches shorter? Zion is listed at 6'7

He’s 6’7 now and weighs 285 lb., his lateral quickness on guards isn’t where it needs to be but you want him at SG?

His outside game does not expertly extend from midrange to three. His shooting is his biggest question mark.

He’s a point forward and he’s a 4 he’ll never play like Corliss Williamson

 

[muzikfrk75]

What I'm saying is that Bilas is prob around 6'6 lol....he's in his 50's, don't people start shrinking then?

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

Seeing that my Hawks have Huerter and Prince. Zion is my #1 prospect for the Hawks. #2 after Barrett. I hear the worries about Barrett but he's too damn talented and he's really really smart and athletic.

No.


On another note, people need to let this season play out and stop setting themselves (and Zion) up for the blowback of him not living up to his potential.

 

[OGBobbyJohnson]

Zion is 92-93 Barkley w/ hops

This

outside of the trio duke's roster is absolute trash. they're probably going to get soul crushed by kentucky

We bout to see

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Zion the future GOAT
