Zion Williamson might be a better NBA prospect than LeBron...

[tremonthustler1]

Who in the nba is strong as Zion?

Why won’t it work?

When you're that heavy, you're begging for your lower body to quit on you. Zion is super athletic but it's hard to play at that level for 35+ minutes a night. He won't have to do that at Duke. He will in the pros.

From an explosiveness standpoint we'll see how he plays with pain, because if he's laid out for any extended period of time, that 285 pounds can turn into 300+ real quick. It's all in how he's disciplined. Larry Johnson's an excellent comp for Zion and his career was over at age 31 (his prime years were over just 6 years into his career).

He cant shoot, seems shorter than 6'7, doesnt have a long wingspan etc... That bully ball can work in college but in the NBA if you got a guy with long arms that gives him the jumpshot I dont see how he can dominate without a jumpshot...

 

[Donald J Trump]

hes 5 inches shorter than shaq

not a comparison

 

[FabTrey]

His wingspan is reported at 6'10, not 7foot

and then it doesn't help that he has an 8'7 standing reach...

Basically he got Lonzo Ball measurements with a big man's game...

charles played 4 all his life and dominated. LJ was supposedly 6ft 5 barefoot.

I can't believe what I'm seeing from this kid. I know its just two games in but he's the most unique player I've ever seen. He's basically a 6'7" version of Shaq who can get in the paint whenever he wants and has great court vision and passing.

He's gonna be UNSTOPPABLE in the league. I can see him being the best player in the NBA and winning multiple championships.

I don't think this new pussified NBA is ready for a physical phenom like this.

you could've just said zion is a modern day super freak version of Charles.

 

[The G.O.D II]

I doubt he will be as effective at the pro level due to his size. Cant be a 3 since his shot is suspect. RJ is the more NBA ready prospect. You dudes stay fooled by these college players whose team are structured around them. Cats getting gassed because he beasting because he shytting on a bunch of army reserves/Canadians in exhibitions. Chill. It will take Zion a couple of years to get his bearings in the pros I think. Could be Barkley or Randle it depends. Shaq comparison is ludicrous

 

[The Fire]

Watch him get drafted by some trash org and become Aaron Gordon 2.0

Aaron Gordon is a beast

 

[boskey]

He’s not usual. He’s gonna be super nice.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. LBJ was a better prospect because LBJ projected as an elite passer. Zion will never put up the assists numbers LBJ does. Also, ZIon might be able to jump higher, but LBJ had a greater wingspan, was taller and quicker. Zion is definitely an elite prospect though. He lets the game come to him and doesn't force shots. If LBJ came of age in the efficient basketball era, instead of watching Kobe, Iverson, and Vince he would have been even better.

He’s gotta drop 25-30 pounds for sure

He’s still gonna be stronger than every other 3/4 combo and his explosiveness will go to a whole new level

His perimeter skills have been impressive to me with this small sample size

 

[FabTrey]

if LBJ and Zion came out same year guess who would go 1st?






yall nikkas trippin. i ain't even a bron stan, but bron was the elite of the elite prospect.

I've only watched his highlights and I aint seeing it

Broke (looking) jumpshot and I dont think he can create for himself on the perimeter besides barrelling into the lane. Time will tell tho

 

[O.T.I.S.]

He’s shooting better than the other guards and forwards on his team but he can’t shoot

He just doesn’t camp at the 3pt line and doesn’t need to. Coach K raves about his shooting.

So you don’t even watch the games

Even Steve Kerr compared him to Lebron and their similarities

I didn't know you still had an account

Breh won't even make it to Andrew Wiggin status now
