January 23, 20205 yr Even though i'm sure he'll be on a minutes limit i'm still pretty pumped to catch his debut. I just wanna see him do something spectacular.
January 23, 20205 yr Author starts off with an errant pass followed by a really nice dime for the assist to Ingram. NO is going to look real dynamic once he jells with the team.
January 23, 20205 yr Damn, he's big. Bigger than normal. I don't know if the # is 15, 20 or 25. But he''s going to have to drop some lbs.
January 23, 20205 yr I’m reminded of how much of a beating Mark Jackson is. He is truly the worst commentator out there.
January 23, 20205 yr Author damn the Spurs are impressive. currently on the court: P Mills D White T Lyles M Belinelli J Poetl and SA is up 15. Pop is amazing.
January 23, 20205 yr Author he has got to be well over 300 lbs right now, and i cannot believe how light on his feet and explosive he is. total freak.

January 23, 20205 yr Author LA just missed putting Hayes on a poster, then Hayes went down and scored on LA...who proceeded to demand the ball/score on Hayes. And again he demands the ball and draws the foul on Hayes. That was fun to watch.

January 23, 20205 yr Author Zion hits a big three and then follows it up by converting the lob on the next play. edit: pulls up and hits another three, and Alvin Gentry pull his sub back to the bench! Zion is going the fuck OFF!!! 13 points in about a minute and a half. shit! Edited January 23, 20205 yr by Goo Punch
January 23, 20205 yr Zion just took over. Damn. Really hope the guy can stay healthy. He's a beast. Edited January 23, 20205 yr by Pam Cummings
January 23, 20205 yr Zion's PER is 38.25 the O/U on his points last night was 12.5 iirc , surpassed in a short time. Edited January 23, 20205 yr by NowThis
January 23, 20205 yr Hell of a debut from Zion. Up there with rookie MCW scoring a quadruple-double and dunking on LeBron, or even Linsanity.
January 23, 20205 yr His shot looks terrible but he hit them. He will get plenty of wide open shots like that as teams will back way off him. Made some nice plays too. Still looks way out of shape but that was somewhat expected with him not being able to run until relatively recently. It will be interesting to see how he is worked into a larger role since the team had been playing very well without him recently.
January 25, 20205 yr Game leading +16 in the 7 point loss to the Nuggets. He is a force already. And should only get better.
January 27, 20205 yr Unreal how thick Zion is (phrasing!). It is downright freakish. Only other hoops star I could compare it to is Shaq or Barkley. That said, it might serve Zion well in terms of longevity to trim at least 20 pounds, especially how high he flies. But who knows? His tendons and joints might be just as robust as the rest of him.
January 27, 20205 yr Author i'm pretty sure he's going to shed 10-15 lbs over the next 3-5 weeks of getting back into shape. the fact that he's legit overweight and not in shape right now is downright scary.

Yup. 285 is what I’ve seen. Needs to play around 250-260 otherwise it’s just too much wear and tear I would think
January 27, 20205 yr Wasn't he the same weight (~280 lbs) as an 18-year-old at Duke? He won't even be 20 until July. Fucking unreal.
January 27, 20205 yr I think Duke listed him at 265. And even if he was he still needs to lose weight. It’s just unnecessary, especially given the way he plays, to carry that weight.
January 27, 20205 yr Completely agree. Can't imagine his knees or back would hold up over the long term. And with a 40-inch vertical ... geez.
February 1, 20205 yr Author Zion catches the ball with one hand *behind the backboard* and still finishes:
February 14, 20205 yr Author posted more for the highlight reel than the stats. if he stays healthy- watch out. Edited February 14, 20205 yr by Goo Punch
February 24, 20205 yr Author if he stays healthy and actually develops a real pull-up game/3-point shot, he will be this generation's LeBron. This are big if's, but got damn this kid is talented.
February 24, 20205 yr Yeah, he’s going to be Lebrun level. This dude is dominating grown NBA players coming off an injury and still getting in shape. A guy that big should not be able to move the way he does... especially at age 19.
February 24, 20205 yr He's a walking $1B industry if he stays healthy as long as LeBron has. Only way he does that is to lose that 15-20#.
