re: Why do people say Zion Williamson is such a good player?

Height is overrated, especially when it comes to the post. Length, power and quickness are greater assets. Plus 6'6 isn't short. There is a huge lineage of great post players under 6'7. I don't think you understand how rare it is for there to be a well proportioned and coordinated athlete over 6'3. That is what makes great basketball players so unique and special.

When I was in college, there was a movement that was spurned after Barkley. Huge athletes that would normally play football that started playing basketball. Guys like Oliver Miller, Rodney Rodgers, Anthony Mason, Byron Houston, Corliss Williamson, plus dozens of others. Almost all of them had solid NBA careers, even now guys like Ben Wallace, Haslem, Harrell, PJ Tucker are doing fine. His height isn't going to hold him back. Plus who is to say that he stops growing? He is only 18. Rodman was 5'11 at 19. David Robinson was 6'7 when he started at the Naval Academy. It happens..
