re: Zion Is Resurrecting The Post Up

To me there’s not a direct comparison in terms of style of play vs athleticism vs body type. He’s one of one.

But in general it reminds me of Shaq in that no one can really match up with him. You see defenders with that same “wtf am I supposed to do” look when they get whistled for a foul or Zion gets his own rebound and puts it back in. Defenders just look completely demoralized.

He had a 37.5” vert

But Barkley couldn't jump. I like the Shawn Kemp and Larry Johnson comps better, but there's just not a good comp for Zion.

As some of have pointed out, I shouldn't have said that Barkley couldn't jump. I should have said that he couldn't jump compared to Zion. Kemp had a 40" vert, and Larry Johnson was in the dunk contest, which is why I was saying that they were better comps for Zion.

But I am also content to just take the L for a dumb comment.
