    265 max weight for heavyweight. So yeah 20 pounds. I agree that would be pretty easy to do for him.

    With Zion, I see a slightly better Blake Griffin or Larry Johnson that will always be an injury concern. The Pelicans record is also concerning since they have a much better cast around him. Ja is still young and working with much less now in Memphis. Despite that, the Griz are a better team. Give him time and the shooting percentages will improve.

    He's pretty good. Wouldn't trade Melo for him, though. Melo's way more famous and respected by his peers.

    It's these cans. The shooter doesn't like these cans. Get away from the cans.

    Still can't believe that Olshey didn't draft him.

    He played point yesterday, beat the 76ers and messed around with a triple double. 37 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists. Wow.

    Sorry to say, but if he's not in shape by now, he'll never be in shape.

    Barkley dropped weight from his first few years in the NBA as he entered his prime. Coming out of Auburn, he was known as the “Round Mound of Rebound.”

    If Chuck somehow dropped weight, so can Zion. He doesn’t turn 21 until July.

    Not sure if the reason you want him to lose weight is injury threat. Otherwise his game is perfectly fine with his current weight. He is almost unstoppable.

    I think he will always be big look at his frame and head. He will lose weight the first few years I would think but once he's mid/late 20's he could pack on more? But I bet he will be able to handle it without to many problems?
