Did Larry Johnson (actual height: 6’5 1/2”) or Charles Barkley (6’4”) have freakish wingspans?

I’m not guaranteeing he’s Top 5, but y’all are bugging with the instant analysis. Regardless of his current skill set, or more likely because of his current physical limitations, we won’t have an idea what he can do at the NBA level until we see if he still beastin on nikkas in college. Whether his athleticism holds up will determine how eager teams will be to use a high pick on him and allow him to fill out the rest of his game.

Do players like this still have success in today's NBA? It's telling that we have to go back 20+ years for a player comp

Like everyone else I've only known him to do crazy dunks. He needs a more complete game.

You being forced to go back to 1984 to find a comp for this nikka only further solidifies my point :yeshrug:

There are always outliers. The reason there’s a debate to begin with is because his size potentially makes him one. Doesn’t mean teams won’t value him at the nba level because most of his game is dunks right now. And if they think he can do what he’s doing in high school at the nba level, you really think everyones passing over him because he’s undersized and can’t shoot? :russ:

He doesn’t have Draymond’s skill set, but size wise they’re similar and Dray couldn’t shoot for shyt until he was a senior in college.

I don’t give a fukk about no damn mock in 2017 about the 2019 draft..you know how often those shyts are redone before the draft... nikka wtf is wrong with you :russ:




If Zion doesn’t grow or have some godly wingspan he’s not a top 5 pick


this kid has a motor and passes the eye test on a level to dispute what you saying right now.
does the kid like anyone have possible bust potential, of course.
yet at this stage, this kid looks to be a generational talent.
only way i see it not happening like that is injury, lawd forbid.
or some outside situation that changes the narrative of this kid's character or sumfin.
past that,..this kid off the eye test seriously has next.


no, if's and's or but's about it.
