His form is slow, and his release point is bad. Makes his shot too flat. His pull up game will struggle always unless he fixes that.

Russillo is a big fan of Louisiana and he can get pretty defensive when Bill starts talking out of his arse. But I think between the two of them, the finer details of that, the feud between Tom and his kids, plus the current running of the organization, aren't realy looked into.

It took Giannis 4 years to get to present day Giannis

People forget Blake Griffin first debuted in the league as a 21 year old and it took him 7-8 years to develop “a shot”

Kemp didn’t play in college and took him a few years to become the reign man once George Karl got there

Barkley had 3 years of college and debuted at 21

Larry Johnson had two years of college and debuted at 22 in the league

Those are all fine comps and great players.

But Zion will tip off as a 19 year old in the league. You can count on 1 hand the guys who impacted the league at 19 the way zion is about to. His size, ability, athleticism and maturity at this age is what makes him special. I don’t think people fully grasp it

He’s really really good. He’s 6’7 285 pounds and moves like a deer. Jumps unbelievably high for his size. The only concern to me is what is he going to top out in weight? Shaq came into the league thin compared to what he ended up topping out at. Hopefully Zion is filled out already and weight won’t be much of an issue.

Takes him a long time to get a shot off.

He doesn’t need a particularly quick release. Enes Kanter’s release takes like 12 seconds and he gets the jumper whenever he wants because most people would prefer that over him getting a shot near the rim.

Iranians don’t like him.

Barring some major injury or drug issue

He will be in the All Star game at least 12 times in his career

He’s a 6’6 player who can’t play the point. I’m not as optimistic as everyone else.

People are dumb. Zion is one of the most overrated players ever. If that Duke team were as loaded as claimed, they would have won it all easily.


Come on man. Texas didn't win it all with Kevin Durant and he's been amazing.
