He's a modern day Barkley, IMO.

Zion looks like he may be able to develop a better shot than Griffin hopefully

Nobody quite like Zion but I thought the poster that mentioned Dominique Wilkins may be the closest comparison. Explosive athlete with size and a ferocious dunker, plus very competitive.

Cross between Lebron and Charles Barkley.

I'm not certain if this is supposed to be a dig at Zion or not but Brand averaged more points, rebounds, assists, and blocks per game than Kemp.

I dunno that Zion has a great comparison because we just haven't seen many dudes that are the size of NFL offensive tackles be as explosive of an athlete as him. Maybe Julius Randle with world-class athleticism isn't the worst comparison.

For perspective, Zion has 10+ pounds on Brand, and the explosiveness of young Blake Griffin.

There is no good historical comp; at best you'll get fusions of two or three very different parts.

Same... I've always said he's a Barkley/LeBron genetic baby
