I don't think he'll be a total bust, but I don't see him becoming one of the top 10 players in the league.People have crazy expectations for this guy.
I'll take your silence as you not believing the shyt you wrote - just mindless fandom bullshyt.
First of all, the camera angle and distance, and the stances they're all in don't accurately reflect their heights, and judging by the eye-line between Zion and Lonzo, there doesn't seem to be a significant margin (2+ inch difference) where this would be even worth posting. Second of all, I liked how you completely neglected to address his wingspan, considering it probably has more influence than height does; his wingspan is below-average for a 3 (let alone comparing him to big men who he'll most probably be playing against).Y'all really tryna still spin these "Zion is 6'5" ducktales huh?
Here he is next to 6'6 Lonzo Ball and 6'9 Brandon Ingram, tell me with a straight face a guy with the frame and power of Miami LeBron as a rookie will be "completely reliant" on being able to chuck 3s to be successful.
And no, he doesn't have the same frame as Miami LeBron; his frame is considerably smaller. The lastest measurements I can find for Zion:
Standing reach - 8'7 (whereas LeBron is/was 8'9.5)
Wingspan - 6'10 (whereas LeBron is/was 7'0.25).
This is why I said his success is going to be nearly completely reliant on developing an outside shot, because his frame isn't going to allow him to dominate against big men [and in the paint] in the league. I mean, hell, we already saw his shyt get packed in a Summer League game multiple times trying to get his shot off because of his lack of size.
How many players currently, or throughout history, have been undersized for a 3, yet dominated the league without having a jumpshot? I'll wait.
What a nonsensical reference point.Like our reigning MVP himself ain't got a single move but a traveling eurostep bulldoze to the basket
Not only is Giannis' success also reliant upon him developing an outside shot, but he stands at 6'11, with a 7ft-and-a-half wingspan (plus, the third-largest hands in NBA history), so he's less reliant on an outside shot than Zion is, because he basically towers over everyone that's on the floor. Meanwhile, Zion's out here barely standing over Lonzo.
I mean, doesn't that go without saying?You guys do this every year with athletes. And most of the time you guys are wrong.
If muh'fukkas are predicting players to be busts or superstars, of course, most of the time the predictions are going to be wrong, because obviously, most players fall somewhere in between the two extremes.
It’s not hate to think a player won’t live up to the hypeAll these losers hating on a 19-year-old rookie.
Yall dorks need to go outside
