Sean Kemp would be a huge disappointment.

Larry Johnson, Barkley, Kemp, Blake Griffin, Draymond, Julius Randle.

He is way better as a playmaker than his Duke stats would lead people to believe. Gentrys system is ideal for him and he will be running the point forward spot quite a bit similar to what guys like Giannis do.

Year 1 prediction

17 PPG
8 RPG
4 APG

and a menace on defense. Year 2 he is an all-star. By year 4 he is a top 10 player in the league.

He will be over 50% from the field because he's going to get a lot of his points from hustling, grabbing boards, running the fast break, etc.

He plays like Giannis if you swap length with strength imo

And Zion is much more athletic. Giannis is athletic but seems more athletic than he is because of his freakish length.

Giannis year 3 stats is a good prediction of what rookie Zion will be.

16.9/7.7/4.3 with 1.2/1.4 steals/blocks.

I am surprised people haven't made a physical comparison to Karl Malone. Although I think his game is more like a young Larry Johnson.

If he developed a shooting touch like the mailman he would be really tough to stop. I didn't watch enough of his college games but it felt like he had some trouble against much taller players- if he could take them outside that makes him kinda a nightmare for most defenders.

Been saying that since the first time I saw him in the Kentucky opener.

He’s a more athletic Julius randle with better handles.
