dude you are so wrong. I haven’t seen a player with zion’s motor in a long time
― k3vin k., Saturday, 30 March 2019 04:18 (five years ago) link
really? are you watching the NCAA tournament? the players may not be NBA talent, but, good lord, they burn through energy like four year olds on a sugar rush. they all have motors.
― A is for (Aimless), Saturday, 30 March 2019 04:25 (five years ago) link
ok, a serious NBA prospect. there is absolutely no question about his motor — it’s one of his biggest strengths imo

zion can be in the nba but first he needs a good scolding lol
― lag∞n, Saturday, 30 March 2019 04:31 (five years ago) link
my main concern with the NBA is that they let/make him put ZION on the back of his jersey

aimless what on earth! I read your post before I watched the game and was looking for any semblance of what you were on about and found nothing.

OK. But I took a look at the box score a minute ago. He played all 40 minutes. He had off-the-chart offensive numbers: 11-14, with 1-2 from 3pt. Also 3 blocks. Exciting stuff!
But he only took one FT, had 1 assist, and for a big man 6 rebounds in 40 minutes is not exactly bad, but not an indicator of extraordinary effort. This kind of supports my impression that he's a human highlight machine, but between highlights he was not exactly dogging it last night, but not really putting out his full effort either - which is what I thought I said to begin with.
― A is for (Aimless), Saturday, 30 March 2019 17:29 (five years ago) link
1) he wasn't getting fouled because the defense was just getting out of the way once he was in position.2) in the 6 minutes i watched he tossed a couple of great passes to open shooters, but they missed because the rest of the team sucks. saw a dude shoot an airball *past* the basket on a corner 3.
he didn't seem to be in great rebounding position at times but i'm not sure it was an effort issue.
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 30 March 2019 18:14 (five years ago) link
playing all 40 minutes is pretty taxing I’m sure...
― k3vin k., Saturday, 30 March 2019 20:04 (five years ago) link
if he were *really* trying he'd have had more than three fouls, smh

zion will not fail if anything ppl dont know how good he really is

Zion has "epochal star player" written all over him as a freshman as much as Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, or Lebron (had he ever gone to college).

I don't understand college basketball. Does this mean no more Zion til next nba season??
― Fetchboy, Monday, 1 April 2019 03:24 (five years ago) link
no more Zion til next nba season??
Yes.
Zion's college team lost today. Before that college team plays any more games, Zion will enter the NBA draft and be drafted at #1. Then, come late October, if he's healthy, he'll begin to play NBA games for his new team.

hes gonna average like 20-7-3 on 60% shooting but prob miss some games cause hes not in great shape and has never experienced "the rigors of an nba season"
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 15 October 2019 16:41 (four years ago) link
coudl see him leading the league in steals hunting those fast break dunks
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Tuesday, 15 October 2019 16:50 (four years ago) link
its true he is very good at steals
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 15 October 2019 16:51 (four years ago) link
shd get many blocks too one wld think
woudl think he'd be able to average 1.5 blocks per game pretty easy but he may need to stay planted NBA players are smart at drawing fouls.
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Tuesday, 15 October 2019 16:53 (four years ago) link
he so explosive he cld wait for them to shoot and still get there, may take some time tho
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 15 October 2019 16:58 (four years ago) link
The downside risk is vanishingly small compared to the upside potential. I'd take him first for fantasy, higher than Kawhi rn, if only because Kawhi regulates his output and will sit out regular season games to give his body a break. Zion is young, durable, and eager to dazzle the league every night.
― A is for (Aimless), Tuesday, 15 October 2019 17:08 (four years ago) link
im thinking 2nd/3rd round but no way i draft him over kawhi. depends where my draft position is but its pretty rare a rookie ends up in the top 40 fantasy rankings after a full season
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Tuesday, 15 October 2019 17:20 (four years ago) link
Where would you have taken Shaq in his rookie year? O'Neal averaged 23.4 points on 56.2% shooting, 13.9 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks per game for his rookie season.
