    I still want to know how you defend Zion. Who can shut him down? He is a very good ball handler for his size, strength and position and I think that gets overlooked.

    You get him in foul trouble and outrun him....make him chase you around on defense and get his legs tired..he's top heavy. Those guys can get run out of the gym. He'll get his pts and dunks but he'll also probably give you the ball and collect offensive fouls

    The problem is, how much latitude will the Refs allow him. Shaq was allowed to plow out the competition in the paint. While he was fouled as well, if it was called correct, Shaq would have fouled out in the 1st half of many games. Is Zion going to be allowed to do the same? If he is, there will be no stopping him. Zion's second jump for a rebound is the quickest i've ever seen for a center/forward.

    Wouldn’t a Pelicans/Blazers first round matchup be delightful? Of course the Blazers would be the higher seed.

    With the way he's able to yo-yo his weight, we might have to start calling him Raging Bull.

    Being in shape like that he's about to be a big big problem. The part of me that's a basketball fan is really happy that he's obviously got his weight and fitness to a place where he can be healthy and play professional sports. The Blazers fan in me is not happy with this development.

    I see a SG who is not starter level (your words) and fat kid who hardly ever plays.
