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

Hybrid Kemp/ Grandmama with facilitating ability

Someone please neg this bozo for me. I gotta spread more rep before I can neg him again.

 

[L&HH]

I say that cause I believe its easier to build a championship team around him than LeBron. Zion is an inside player with perimeter skills. LeBron is a guy who could dominate inside but likes dancing on the perimeter.

Like Shaq, all you need is one other star perimeter player alongside Zion and he'll win chips.

You say this as if Anthony Davis isn't currently in the league dominating from inside out and has only made it out the 1st round once.

He can play the 4, Jayson Tatum, RHJ, Paul Millsap, Thaddeus Young, Justin Winslow, Draymond.....all play the 4


Zion got the athleticism to cover up his lack of length

Please tell me you didn't just mention Justise Winslow.



You just threw out of bunch of names that - don't play the 4 regularly, bigger than Zion, better defensive players, more skilled offensively outside the paint, and/or aren't great players. The point is, he's not going to play at the 4 full-time, in his current state, he just doesn't have the skillset/size. A # of the starting 4s now are around 6-9+, and space the floor, because that's the direction the league has been moving for a minute now; Zion is neither of those things.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

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.

I actually said it the other day after watching his last game

Dude is like a 6’7 Shaq... but can hit FT’s, pass, handle, etc.

6 blocks at 6’7....

This doesn't even make any sense. Shaq is Shaq because he was bigger than everyone. How''s Zion going to be a 6'7" Shaq in the league, where he'll be considerably shorter than nearly every single frontcourt?

 

[O.T.I.S.]

I don’t see how RJ is the better prospect outside of having a prettier shot. Zion seems to have young LeBron like impact

nikkas keep gassing RJ when it’s like if he’s not taking 20+ shots he just looks average.

Zion doesn’t need 20+ shots to have MAJOR impact on a game. I can’t believe because it’s like nikkas never seen this kid play

Zion is bigger than everyone even at 6’7

Who tf is getting in front of him at that speed, size, and athleticism

nikkas act like Zion has never played against taller players

 

[Hey_zeus]

He needs to prove he's better than LJ and then Barkley first.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Zion is bigger than everyone even at 6’7

So you're telling me if Shaq was the same weight, but 6'7" he would've been just as dominant?

 

[THE MACHINE]

I hate the Lebron comparison...you can't compare Zion to Lebron based on one huuuuge missing element, vision.

Lebron had vision from the get go..even highschool..that's what made him stand out, you can't teach that.

Absolutely he doesn’t have the natural vision. I meant “wow” impact on spectacular weak side blocks, big time dunks, open court athleticism, getting any shot he wants with brute force. Decent outside shooter. Your eyes gravitate to him just like Bron at St. Vs

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

What?

Not even the best prospect on his own team.

RJ >>>>>>>>

yall just luv to say things to stand out huh?

It's not really a "stand out" comment. I mean if we're talking in terms of NBA prospects, it can be argued that Zion's not even #2 on his team. Both RJ and Cam have skillsets/abilities that'll transition into the league more easily.

 

[staticshock]

Plus mentality. I think he has that dog in him that LeBron lacks.

Straight killer on the court.

LeBron lacks that dog yet he led trash ass Cleveland to the finals..you see what they are without him, the worst team in the league. Plus he led them the first time as the leader at 22 years old in 07.

Sit your dumb ass down.

So you're telling me if Shaq was the same weight, but 6'7" he would've been just as dominant?

You’re trying to nuke tf out of this.

I’m not telling you anything, Shaq doesn’t even have the same skill set for you to be trying to compare every single aspect.

We were specifically talking about how he gets into the paint, athleticism, aggressiveness, etc.

He looks like a shorter Shaq in that respect
