He is a Shaq/Barkley hybrid

I do look at his body type and wonder if he isn’t a risk to blow up and get fat.


Not necessarily that, but he's Lebron without the slashing ability.

And he's not a great shooter.

But if he can defend like Draymond, he will be a tough offensive threat against stretch 5s.

Chuck dreams of being the athlete Zion is.

Zion has no real comp.

Barkley, but he won't be the rebounder that he is.

I fully anticipate his rookie year stats to be:
14-15 PPG
7-8 RPG
1-2 APG
1-2 TOV
2 combined SPG+BPG
while shooting 45/33/70 for the year

No way Shawn Kemp, kind of agree with the Julius Randle one.

Kemp only averaged 20 or more a game once in his career

And it wasn’t on the Sonics.

I would hope Zion at his peak would be better than that

If he shots only 45 percent, it would blow my mind. He’s an amazing finisher on rebounds and post-ups.

I agree with 33 and 70, could be a bit lower, even.

You do realize that Kemp has been a pretty popular comparison among analysts right?

Regardless Zion is Zion. Very few players have had his combo of freak athleticism, high IQ, passing, defense, efficiency, scoring, and motor. He’s very unique.

That’s not to say he can’t or won’t bust, just that he is definitely a thing on to himself.
