Zion Williamson Bust Watch

[I AM WE ARE]

Great company

 

[horizon]

It's going to take some sort of miracle for him to "comfortably" average those numbers.

Mind you this is in reference to averaging 16/10/5/2 on 52% FG

16 points on 52 FG% seems abnormally high that he'd be producing at a rate for a rookie on an understrength lottery team,

Less than 82 games in and Zion's shattering this

LeBron was nowhere near that efficient in his first season, and he was far more advanced as a scorer than Zion was at the same age.

The next time yall try to say LeBron is out of reach for Zion just remember this

I think it's safe to say he's not going to be comfortably averaging those numbers. Plus, nobody should be looking at his box score #s to evaluate his season/growth. Y'all nikkas need to come up off that.

A lot of concern trolling like this was taking place. Note this poster only talks about Zion after he has a bad game but he's so "concerned" about him

Not a chance he averages 25 ppg without a jumpshot, especially not at 50+% (which is an arbitrary nonsensical mark as it is). You're in for a rude awakening if you think he's gonna put up production like that.

"Rude awakening" he says as Zion averages 26/7/3 on 60%

LeBron (at the same age) only averaged 21 ppg on low efficiency (on a team where he was definitively the #1 option), yet muh'fukkas in here believe that Zion is going to average 25+ points on high efficiency, with a considerably weaker scoring skillset, and most probably won't be the #1 option.

Read this again knowing what Zion is doing at this stage of his career compared to LeBron. The numbers are what they are brehs

All his shots were 5ft from the basket + preseason. All this oh you can't root against a 19yr old black man shyt is asanine .This nikka is the new Yung Lakers of the Coli.His fans will point at singular performances as glimpses of something to come. *read this in the voice of Thanos*

"Singular performances"

What do you consider a bust.As a #1 pick I expect you to be franchise by yr 3-5.With flashes on greatness in your rookie campaign.I don't see bust I see roleplayer.

ROLEPLAYER????

Then again Im not a scout.

We know and thank god for that

According to the things I began posting here over a year ago, I like the young man , didn't buy into the hype, and think that weight,conditioning, and offensive shortcomings will put a cap on what he'll be able to do in the league.

Deflections and straw men don't work.

How about direct quotes then?

You've bought into the hype machine.

Zion is a better athlete than Shannon Brown, Richard Jefferson, or David Robinson?

thanks

The Zion hype is looking funny in the light.

I know you trolling so I'm not even going to entertain this... Bron drafted in 2003... nikka you think Zion, didn't even play a full season, Williams is the BEST prospect since 2003, then I really don't think mods should let you talk basketball anymore

I mean you have to look no further then his own 2003 draft class but keep cooking breh

 

[DetroitEWarren]

Melo was great. Zion was clearly the better player bro


You nikkas cant point to a single thing to say any of these dudes were better.

Do you nikkas know what a once in a lifetime talent looks like. nikka has dominated every level of basketball, nikkas like this we get once every decade or so my dawg

Profit shyt

 

[DetroitEWarren]

Shooting, dribbling, defense....

It seems you going off stats and make believe... We are actually watching the games and saying a player like D Wade had a waaaaaaaaaaay better skillset than Zion

And no... I do not believe he's a lifetime talent... Athlete maybe.. But at having the TALENT to play basketball.. No he's not doing anything especially talented except dunking and driving hard.. Where's all the other talents? Where's the other skills?

Post talent? offense or defense in the post? Passing talent? Rebounding? Defense? Switching? Running an offense? Dribbing? Using both hands? Shooting? Midrange and longrange? Leadership?

Where these talents breh?

I know u came around bro but

I was trying to tell you ass

 

[DetroitEWarren]

If u dont see tge finesse off the dribble which is Wade like AS A 285 POUND nikka, you cant talk basketball with me. Wade is my 2nd fav of all time, he wasnt a better college player.

Touch around the basket, change of direction, long ass strides with few dribbles needed, no wasted ballhandling, on or 2 dribbles and gone. nikka IS 285 DOING THIS shyt

You dont know what u are talking about anfmd u dont watch the game how i watch it. I been breaking everything down to u dumb nikkas on the court and numbers wise nikka. I support my opinions, yall nikkas are intentionally ignoring his jumpshot cause its not a weakness at all. Yall are ignoring his handle to push a bullshyt "athletic but unskilled" narritive.

Go look at every bucket that boy scored in the halfcourt for Duke, you are gone feel and look stupid as fukk.


The nikka is a stupid athlete, why are yall using this shyt to take away from his skills . Thats being a trash observer.

Profit shyt

[DetroitEWarren]

nikka named 1 skill and then added it into a dribble drive dunk... and gonna tell me I don't know about basketball

Yea ok... That scenario makes him better than a nikka who could shoot inside, mid range, outside, from the post, penetrate, score at the basket, dribble and drive with both hands, and play defense.....


Like I said... you naming athletic shyt.. Like running fast is an athletic feat. Actually using that speed to a way that gives you an advantage in a basketball game, is a skill. Zion is using his athletics to dribble, drive and finish

Outside of that, I ain't seen shyt and neither have you.

 

[DetroitEWarren]

They said all that same shyt about Lebron and Bron is not a quote unquote skilked player. Zion has a much better post game at that age, Zion has better touch around the basket. Lebron been eating for years off athleticism without elite change of direction, literally straight line driving his way to a 27ppg career average. Zion is a better rebounder, better at protecting the basket.

Its tricky as hell cause Zion is a actual POWER Forward with great perimeter skills, but i dont see him as a perimeter player. He is a natural 4 that moves like a 2 while Bron is a natural SF who moves how a SF is supposed to. Bron is the more "common" athlete so to speak.

Zion is something new bro


All yall nikkas gone be dapping me in a month when dawg is dropping a easy 20 every game. Dont forget that nikka Blake told you this shyt

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

I don't why you're quoting me fam... Your original point was he was the best prospect since Lebron James came out in 2003.

After seeing how great Zion is playing right now. I still can name 10 better players who came out since 2003. I mean Luka right fukking there. KD came in 07...


I might have been off on how skilled this man is. But you'll never make "best prospect since Bron" stick.

The kid's ballin but he needs to grow out that beard or something because I saw his neck in HD the other night

Is ProActiv still around?

 

[get these nets]

How about direct quotes then?

I tell you what, him suiting up and playing so many games has been the biggest surprise. I had him playing fewer than 75% of any given season because of weight and durability issues.
Offensive numbers don't lie, he's balling this season.

He stills to get rid of his barber

If he's shaving with a razor then STOP
