Zion could have stayed in college for a year or 2 and round out his game instead he round out his body.
his running style still weirds me out if he lost some more he could be like an even more explosive and dynamic larry johnson
Except that he's the focus of everyone on the court and capable of posting dominant stat lines in limited minutes, but he currently seems to be having little effect on the game. In college, he looked like a soft Karl Malone. Now, he looks like a fit Oliver Miller. He's got such good body control and motor skills, he'll probably always be a highly efficient scorer, but without the explosiveness, it's hard to see him living up to the hype.
Pretty impressive: despite his minutes restriction, Zion manages to have the third worst +/- per game IN THE ENTIRE BUBBLE: This despite scoring like a motherfucker (per 48 stats):
I think he was injured. Didn't play a whole hell of a lot of games in a strange shorten season, but not bad for a 19 year old.
Shoot, Anthony Davis missed 1/4 of his rookie season and finished 2nd. I think that the Pels are happy with their pick. Shit Zion was barely playing in the bubble because of front office pressure on the coach. They were looking big picture...... Ja, had a terrfic season and deserved the award.
Yeah he looks toned up for sure. NBA trainers got a hold of him. They keep him in that kind of shape he will be a beast!
He always be good offense but I still will question his lateral quickness on defense. Not he can't block shots but his lower body will still prevent that quickness to be a good defender.
He's got those knees that go in that you see on people who have been very overweight and then lose weight. Just an observation. New Orleans looks interesting. I'm not sure that Zion and Steven Adams will work together, but if they play them at the same time that's got to be the beefiest frontcourt in a while.
