I don't know, man. I love Zion's game and attitude.

I still think you're more worried about winning an argument than having an actual discussion, which automatically makes you the most insufferable guy at the bar.

Because he is and he’s getting better. Bad players aren’t offered at Duke KU UK etc.

You also only degrade people that are good in sports. As they say, they don’t boo you because you suck.

He hasn’t said anything “controversial” yet, just wait they’ll turn on him soon. We know how this works.

False.

Ingram did have his advocates as #1 pick-because he’s a far better shooter with a high ceiling.

Simmons has physical gifts and great vision, but Ingram is a more skilled offensive player.

What really gives Zion separation from a pretty good player like Julius Randle, is his handle and how it combines with his size.

Someone that strong, athletic, and thick is pretty near impossible to to defend when they are that good on the bounce. We saw with younger LeBron, but now add 40 pounds to that runaway freight train. And make it more athletic.

Yes, he still has some obvious work to do, but watch him bring the ball upcourt after a turnover with his offhand, being able to attack the rim left or right, his seeming ability to get 'as high as he needs to' to block or alter a shot like a guy 4 inches taller. That's why he's special. That's why he's the clearest cut #1 since at least AD. Its why people have him pegged as a megastar.

Playing against lesser talent will make you look better than you are.

He is a turnover machine waiting to happen in the NBA. He plays a lot of post at Duke. Aint happening in NBA. 6'6"??

Will be the biggest bust since wendy whoppers.

He’s on a different level physically. I haven’t been able to watch him that much but it’s like he’s a high schooler playing with/against middle schoolers

Bump for the FSU game with Zion once again going super star. Ridiculous plays by him left and right.
