Zion is 6’7” 285 pounds.

[#1 pick]

He can get down to the 250-260 range easily with the right conditioning program but the key is if he's a legit 6'7 or not and for his sake he better hope he gets up to about 6'8 cause right now I don't think he's capable of playing as anything but a power forward or small ball center.

He's like Barkley, he's a center who likes to play on the perimeter. He don't have a position. When you that damn athletic, you can get away with it.

 

[#1 pick]

Barkley was an one of a kind player. Not sure why he keep getting namedropped

Because that's the only player like Zion in the last 30 years. Same reason why Curry and Nash get dropped when Trae Young is mentioned. We don't have any other comparisons.

It's not like he's heavy and un athletic tho

 

[keond]

Whats crazy is the best D-End in football is 285 lb, but he is only 6 foot and his knees are fine. I know two different sports and skillsets it just crazy how ppl are making it out like he is Micheal Sweetney or Oliver Miller. Dude is solid.

 

[The God Poster]

He's not fat so what's the problem .

that's like saying Embiid doesn't need to drop a few pounds cuz he not fat .

If that's the case everybody who been clowning Melo for years got some explaining to do

 

[William Heavy]

Dude is the next Oliver Miller. Looking real at such a young age.




The kid is a freak of nature. He is very heavy, but extremely athletic, but that might just be his body type. I've never seen him play, but if he has decent handles and a good first step he's gonna be able to do very good when he gets to the league. Most guys will either be to light too stop him from bullying them in the post, or they will be too slow to stop him from going by them. He'll be like a souped up Anthony Mason.

People are right when it comes to his knees possibly giving out on him. He should strive to be as lean as he can be. But some guys just have that body type and athleticism and don't suffer injuries.

Needs to lay off the Chick fila and Bojangles

like I said earlier this year, he's gonna be one greatest screen setters Dook has ever seen

Anthony Mason with a vertical

 

[Derek Lee]

Don't draft him, Knicks

 

[wire28]

285 at his height for someone who will be doing power moves almost all game is basically asking for a catastrophe

bron has made a living off it why not him

 

[Bboystyle]

He will be a TE in the NFL in a few years

If it's not hurting him . Everyone keeps saying it's too much weight for him to carry but thats just speculation. Hes clearly a genetic anomaly already. Doesnt seem like hes gaining weight cause hes eating donuts. Might just be one of those cats who gain muscle super easy when they lift

 

[ISO]

He’s 285 but his frame can hold, look at his arms dude is cut

We might be seeing an athletic specimen like we’ve never seen before in basketball.

Barkley was athletic but this kid supposedly has a 46 inch vertical at 285 pounds. Insane.

 

[Ohene]

He should be at Clemson playing LT. He might be a small ball 5 in the league

making 5 mill a year? waiting until he 21 to enter the league?
