I've said here that he's a more athletic Julius Randle.
And I'm not ready to back down on it.
I truly think he's a more athlete Randle.

i just think he has SO much more that it goes past the comparison
Posted on 2/28/19 at 1:24 am to WestCoastAg
Why?
Randle's game is a tick under what Zion will be.
Zion will have ALL the opportunities to be exactly what Randle was supposed to be.
Zion is Griffin + Randle.
But he will have the opportunity(like Blake) unlike Randle.

because i think randle and zion go about their games different. randle, hes a bull. he uses his strength to barrel into people on offense and muscle his way to the rim. zion gets by defenders and goes through them in the air. also, hes a much better distributor/playmaker than people seem to give him credit for, at least in my opinion. and i wouldnt describe randle that way. but i have watched like maybe two total games of him in NOLA so maybe hes gotten better. i also think he may not necessarily be a better one on one defender than julius but will probably be a better team defense guy

Zion is a million times better one defense
This is a shitty comparison. You’re just saying this because they’re bothdecent under the rim and Julius is somewhat athletic. Zion is on a whole other level.

Boom. This is correct. He’s a slightly better Blake griffin. you are never going to build a championship winning team around him, but he could be a solid #2 or #3 on a championship caliber team...imho.

If he is 6’7”, he is barely 6’7”. I just think a lot of these experts are going to be wrong on him.
Posted on 2/28/19 at 7:14 am to reo45
I think that's decent comparison. Not sure about the range as a shooter comment though.

zion is 6'7 who doesnt have the size to play in the post or the shot or handles or passing to play guard in the NBA. His only position is small forward and he needs to get a whole lot better shooting to actually be a threat there. Hes getting by on athleticism in college and I dont see that happening in the NBA. Randle is 6'9-6-10. Way bigger than zion. I believe he is being overhyped.

I don't think Zion is overhyped, but it worries me he's a significant leg injury away from being average.
Zion is small but thick and strong. What makes him special is having unreal explosiveness and agility for his size. He get to the rim because he's way too big and strong for anyone who can match his agility and hops. Someone who can match his strength and size, he'll run circles around them.
What I worry about is if an injury takes that agility and explosiveness. His jumper isn't good enough to have him still be high level without that ability to abuse the bigger guys with his athleticism.

The problem with Zion is lebron, Kawhi, gianis,AD, luka, hell even someone like klay or possibly Draymond is gonna be able to d him up. He maybe explosive but because his shot is so suspect they can give him some space and he maybe athletic but hes not that athletic to blow my NBA forwards if they dont have to respect the jumper

Draymond Green is also 6'7". This isn't 2010. Few teams are going to have a bruiser that can consistently beat him inside. Take Nurkic for example, Zion would struggle with him, but he also might run Nurkic off the floor on the other end.

I see Barkley as well. NBA needs a new round mound of rebound

he’s a better athlete than Simmons who scores at will without a jumper quote:

Luka and Klay trying to guard Zion will be funny
