UNC will blow the doors off this team. They can't shoot and after watching him and RJ with all these under handed layups, a lot of teams with decent big men that shouldn't have any buisness hanging with Duke are gonna compete or beat them too.

The Truth

This doesnt prove alot but some nikkas really thought he had no game and wouldnt look good against no one. The athletic forward game is an all time high now, and hes one of the most interesting we've seen
Which is crazy to me because he’s like the biggest HS player in years.

#1 at his position coming into college
  • Dude game is nice. Finishes at the rim with either hand, body control is elite, can elevate at attack rebounds at its highest point, decent handles, and working on his extended jump shot...:myman:
hes played like this for awhile too.

His body control is crazy for how high he jumps and how big he is, he actually manuevers around bigger guys extremly well and extremely fast

I’m more surprised he hasn’t broke a rim yet. nikkas act like Zion is uncomfortable playing against taller guys as well... he’s not

He’s gonna catch a body at least once a night

RJ...something I can’t put my finger on worries me. I feel like he doesn’t have any lights out skill where you say, “he can do X really well,” yet he always finds a way to produce. He gonna need to develop some moves cuz he won’t be able to overpower everyone in the NBA. He has no range on his jumper and is not someone I’d trust to handle the ball too much outside of half court in the NBA.

That said, I hope he continues to be successful.

He was able to hit a couple of threes, but yeah his jumper looks weird. Looks like he shoots from the side of his head. He reminds me of a much more aggressive Nic Batum. His athleticism and ball handling is levels above Nic Batum though.

Both him and Zion are definite starters in the league though. Zion is clearly a 4. He's undersized, but he's so strong. He looked better shooting the ball than RJ did too :wow:

He looks mad stiff to me. Plus he was throwing that elbow a little too much on those drives
