Zion Williamson Bust Watch

[Sauce Dab]

Don't say I didn't try to tell y'all dumbass nxggas.

Nah that’s a L you gotta take. You was wrong

Nah that’s a L you gotta take. You was wrong

The only L to be taken is all you clown ass mfers that didn't bother paying attention to what I was saying in the first place. Any reasonable person who knows hoops would've agreed with me from the jump, but yet here we are. It won't take long for everyone else who's slow on the run to eventually catch up.

1 100$ bet with my nikka Twanny. Twanny seen the light though , said Zion would lead the league in scoring this year.

Now, another fukkin minute restriction

I told you bro. Don’t think he will ever be healthy. Or maybe he faking it to get off the pels. Either pels should think about moving him and cutting they loses

Pull up some shyt where you criticized injury potential you fukkin clown

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I can admit fault pretty easily because Im a normal functioning human

Write some more essays about how validated you are hes injured, and how that somehow proves that he needs to shoot more threes. When he drops some weight and is atill banging on everyone youll just move them posts again. Clown ass nikka

If this is a blip and he stays healthy he can definitely dominate with his style of play. Before Im dragged into eternal hell of replies I honestly see nothing wrong with that quote besides the hypothetical of health.

So sure Im wrong, or at least misinformed about why this thread is this long. See how easy that was if this was the post I initially saw then I would have nothing to say, but apparently whatever right points you were making got perturbed over the course of this thread and I dont renig on my replies to those. This though, cant find much egregious and thats the truth

Another year, another surgery to Zion's wheels.

As I said -

Well, don't you look stupid now professing all that nonsense about bu-bu-but why can't you admit you were wrong.

Bu-bu-but Gil Scott, why don't you ever admit you're wrong.

This clown really celebrating an injury? Is this acceptable in thecoli?


Plus your whole argument was based off skills and ability to play in the league

 

[inndaskKy]

What the problem is? It says he won't miss regular season games?

 

[DetroitEWarren]

This hoe ass nikka didn't make a single post all off-season, as soon as the Zion news hits, instantly 100 posts in 1 day .


Racist ass pink bytch.


I never thought I'd see the day where a white supremacists could lurk a black website.

@SunZoo y'all got some splaining to do

Celebrating an injury?

Why do you goofy ass nxggas resort to this bullshyt when folks are trying to point out something that should've been blatantly obvious?

Plus your whole argument was based off skills and ability to play in the league

You don't know my "whole argument", so I suggest you sit your dumbass down. One of my very first breakdowns of his play and his projection back in 2018 was literally speaking about his body breaking down in the league if he didn't drop weight. My entire stance around him needing a jumpshot is based on him shedding pounds and shifting positions, in order to exist in the sphere of superstardom.

This is just another case of thecoli being wrong, and not owning up to being so, once again.

He's going be more outta shape

Gil could probably tell you what oats & grains your great great great grandma bought from the general store back in the 1800's.Thee Receipt Lord up in this bytch

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I wonder how many tags I'll get in here this season.

@Gil Scott-Heroin what an awful year for your “analysis”

It's funny how I always end up having the last laugh whenever it concerns you:

All that wear and tear at his weight will catch up to him eventually if he doesn't cut down. It will be inevitable.

It's less "doom and gloom" and more being realistic. There's a reason why all big men in the league have been cutting down over recent years to keep in tune with the pace and space game. Of course, no body type is immune to injury, but all the actions that are frequent in today's game, and the injury risk they carry are compounded by the weight you carry, especially when knee injuries are more prevalent than ever, and that joint/ligaments bear the majority of your body's weight. Since "coli doctors" don't know what they're talking about, perhaps you'll find advice from NBA trainers/coaches more palatable:

"Mahinmi was given the all-clear to slim down in July, but started with lighter weights to take it easy on his knees. Losing weight also reduced the extra physical stress on his ligaments and joints when he ran, jumped, or landed.

“Someone like Nurkic—if he stays at a good weight, and he’s not fluctuating, he could add four, five years to his career,” Barto says. “He’s already had one injury,” he says, referring to the Blazers center’s broken right leg last March, “and the more weight you hold, the more you're banging your joints, and the more injury prone you're going to be.”

Players are now looking for ways to help them last—not just over the long haul of their career but over the course of a grueling 82-game season.
On Zion -

Finally, we touched base with an NBA assistant coach, who spoke off the record because he is not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

"If you're playing 82 games at that weight, running up and down the floor, that's bad for his joints and it'll take a toll on him. I think he's going to struggle with a lot of things. If it were me, I wouldn't play over 260-to-265 pounds if I was 6-foot-7. In today's game, with every team getting out in transition, with more possessions than ever before, it's concerning if a guy is carrying that much weight.""

For starters, he's NOT going to last long in the league if he stays at 285lbs (I highly doubt his trainers/prep team will let him enter his rookie season at that weight), so he's not going to have that same size advantage at the next level, like he does now. Second of all, his strength/athleticism won't mean shyt if he doesn't have the height/wingspan to finish over longer, smarter and experienced defenders. Tweeners with strength/athleticism as their main attributes have limited ceilings in the league.

His success will be predicated on him developing an outside game, because he's not going to dominate at the NBA level with his current style of play.

And this is why Zion is going to need a jumpshot to push himself into superstardom, otherwise, he's just going to be another opportunistic scorer who's completely reliant on athleticism. A lot of dudes don't wanna hear it though.

What's there to reconsider?

I've already said he won't be a bust (his BBIQ and athleticism = bust-proof)
I've already said my assessment is based on what his ceiling is going to be, given that he's going to need a jumpshot to take the next step. He's not going to be able to exist in the sphere of superstardom without it (well, not without consequences). Every single point I've made in here is looking at the bigger picture.

Once this honeymoon period is over for y'all nikkas, and shyt starts to get real, and the discussions start coming up about his jumpshot, don't say that I wasn't talking about this shyt from the very start.

I wonder if all those in this thread who tried coming at my neck will concede and agree with these points now.

This thread is a bloodbath
