Zion Williamson Bust Watch

[Inertia Creeps]

The last kid I saw get his way like this in the NBA at such a young age.... was Bron himself. Zion just turned 19 and one of the best, most disciplined teams in the NBA defensively, anchored by the reigning DPOY no less, is virtually helpless against him

I ain't even looking at this from a homer lens anymore, like I haven't seen anything like this in over 15 years. shyt is absolutely insane, I was excited as hell when we won the draft but I never honestly expected anything like this so soon.



Our team is supposed to be fukking deep and full of vets brehs, we ain't supposed to be giving him this kinda role so early. But we literally just dumping him the ball and letting him go to work like he's a superstar in his prime already!!!! And that shyt is fukking working y'all!!!!!!!:gawdamn::gawdamn::gawdamn::gawdamn::KingKaiTOWEL:

This MF can't even drink legally yet!!!!!!!!!! :hellno::InfinityPicard:

 

[#1 pick]

This nikka really a 6'6 barefoot combo of Westbrook and Shaq

 

[#1 pick]

Look, I get it, it's the preseason. But this shyt doesn't make any damn sense.

 

[Cereal_Bowl_Assassin]

92% from the field last game

72% from the field this game

Dude is a created 2k player

Not a bad comparison breh

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

Aleksander-Walker ain't no slouch either

Dude shoot is wet

When Jax add bulk, this rookie class would be

 

[Deep_Black_Conscious]

Zion is a new class
A hybrid of multiple legends in one

 

[DragonKnight]

He might top 5 in mvp votes if he play like this in the season.

 

[the kid]

I don’t know how someone watches Zion in these preseason games and don’t see greatness. And he can guard wings, which will make him exponentially more valuable.

gil my nikka, I think you might want to reconsider your take on Zion. I am 3 games in and I am back to how I felt about him when he played for the Blue Devils.

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.

 

[FabTrey]

I legit worry about his knee but barring injury i fully expext this thic ass nikka to be top 3 playe in years.

I can respect that.

Some people chose to be haters and doubters without actually watching and analyzing his game.
Like some people just realizing he doesn't just dunk (he has a post game).

The absolute crazy thing about this dude is he just turned 19. Once he gets a year under his belt, nba weight training, and nutrition. The only thing that will stop him is injuries. fukk a honeymoon period, this nikka is clearly a problem.
