He said in an interview earlier this off-season he ideally wants to be at 265 for his playing weight next season, but they don’t believe that is realistic so they are aiming for 270, but he will do everything he can to hit his 265 goal.

Yeah, I think a decent goal for him is to weigh 260-270ish and have a body fat percentage in the teens.

ETA: clearly he wouldn't agree to something that he didn't think was likely, so he has to be in good shape right now

Did y’all see the Barkley interview where he said Moses Malone told him he was fat and needed to get in shape, then as he went from 3 bills down to 240s he started to get to play then played better and better? I think that is the Zion archetype…if he is in shape then he is an athletic wrecking ball.

I will never understand any of the discussions regarding Zions weight. None of them makes any sense..
