    He needs to develop a three point shot, like Johnson did. Once LJ's athleticism ran out, he became a decent spot up shooter.

    I said a few months ago that he needs to drop some weight. The load on his knees is tremendous.

    Hot take - Zion Williamson is an uber-athletic Caleb Swanigan.

    I've got to watch more, because I haven't seen a lot of that yet. Or any of that. I've seen him get his shot thrown at least three times. I've watched him lumber up the floor like Shaquille O'Neal. I've seen him get a couple of wide-open dunks. But I'll be impressed when I see him moving guys like Nurk out of the way.

    Problem is, he'll have serious issues if he keeps the weight necessary for him to move or score through Nurkic (which I still don't think is all that possible for him in the first place).

    He won't move Nurk, he'll spin move on dunk on him. His speed and quick jump are easy to see already.

    Real question I just turned it on like 10 minutes ago, is Zion just not playing because it's SL or is he hurt or something?

    He and Zion both need a shooting coach.
