Zion actually is looking much better now than I thought he would. Those two inches of height have really helped, and I used to think he was "way more athletic than high school competition", but he's starting to look like a next-level athlete, period.

I still don't think he'll be a star in the league, but there's a good chance he could carve out a career as a rich man's TT or something.

athleticism don't mean nothing. just look at dwight :heh:

older charles without much athleticism did this


charles just knew how to play basketball. he grabs the ball and put the ball in the bucket. ain't nobody could stop charles on offense.

Zion looks like a much better athlete. But Shaq has a NBA position. Shaq has legit elite NBA size. Not the same prospects


shaq got like 6 inches on him breh. no 7ft 1 300 pounder ran the court like shaq. and shaq didn't even lift weight early on. just pure genetics. zion looks like he is a big athletic DE.

The Truth
there's a duke practice vid and he already facial'd a teammate



Dunked on that whiteboy something vicious :hhh:

That last dunk :hhh:


Zion gonna be just fine. If his shot is dropping more consistently and if he can drop a lil more weight (just a precaution) then everything else will fall into place.

And Zion been zipping up and down the court at that size for damn near 3-4 years already... hilarious how nikkas in here never even seen him play but somehow speaking on this breh.

And this dude almost did one of the CRAZIEST dunks I’ve ever seen when Lebron Jr. and his teammates came to visit Duke. @1:50



Him breaking Dukes vertical record... nikka can damn near touch the top of the backboard... at 285lbs:hhh:

i can see the point about his knees, all that cutting and pressure - definitely can't be good long term.

if it wasn't for how he plays (i.e. if he was a center or pf) i'd be less concerned.

But the way he gets up and lands is so light, explosive, and effortless

It’s fukking crazy honestly..

I hope he gets go around 6’9, 260 and hovers around there. Dudes vertical would be out of this world around there

But dude is still a monster downlow too. Whoever guards him is going to have their hands full honestly. He can fly up and down the court, strong af, quick af, athletic af, etc.

He is putting on weight FAST af. He needs to slow down. He'll be 300lbs by the combine at this rate.

October 9,2017 at the Team USA basketball Camp he was

6'5 barefoot...6'10.5 wingspan......272lbs.

Zion Williamson puts up eye-popping measurements

6'7 285lbs is actually better weight distribution than 6'5 272lbs


He'll be ok. He doesn't need to get down to 240/250 like some of ya'll are saying. 260s would be fine for someone with his musculature.
Unlike a lebron James type build, this guy actually has big legs.

He just finished going through puberty, its not that concerning....
Word...them knees, carrying all that bulk, bwoy....:wow:

Isn't it the guys who put on the mass through intense weightlifiting programs over a short period of time who screw themselves over...
This kid is just pure genetics, built sturdy from head to toe has tremendous body control and landing on his jumps for his size much like Bron and CJ81 with a mix of Barkley.....He still need to lose about 20-25 overtime for various reasons but his health doesn't concern me...Hopefully a grows a couple more inches,,,
