He's saying people frequently gain muscle in their 20's and if Zion does that with his current body composition, it could easily be bad news.
If that's what he was saying I would agree. Zion doesn't need to get stronger. Easily stronger 99% of the NBA already. Not sure it really makes him that much more injury prone but I could see how his athleticism might start getting hampered if he puts on more muscle. I don't buy the argument that he will be an even better athlete or less injury prone if he was at 265. 285 seems to be the proper weight for him.

At his size, the injuries he needs to be worried about are foot and knee injuries. The more weight you carry, the more force that's exerted on those areas. Ask Yao Ming.
There's no doubt that losing about 20 lbs would reduce his risk of injury significantly.
Also, when you're losing a pound, you're not just losing a pound. You're reducing the amount of energy you need to move your body. If you are already pretty strong and you lose mostly fat, losing a relatively small amount of weight can greatly improve performance. At his size, there's really no downside to losing about 20 lbs.
