re: Why do people say Zion Williamson is such a good player?

---

ya then you have clueless Joe's saying he's a "tweener" in the NBA

---

he has major tweener potential

he's short for a 4 and THIC!™ for a 3

you've bumbled, misrepresnted, and straight up lied in this thread. are you still that mad that the Pellies didn't take the trash LAL offer?

oh wow, let's go back to my original quote that you keep misquoting

in the neo-NBA this may not be as much of a concern but i'm not sure. he's going to have to get a lot better shooting which is likely) or lose weight. there aren't that many comparisons b/c of his unique physical profile

thank you for repeating what i already said, mr. intellectual

do you want to also repeat the fact that simmong was the clear cut #1, which i also already said? or are you going to lie and say i compared them as prospects?

Charles Barkley was a completely different player who played at a completely different time under different rules.

Charles Barkley could shoot and play 1 on 1. And he used to constantly back guys down for like 10 seconds until he got near the basket and hit a little jump shot. That doesn’t work in today’s NBA.

Check out early 76ers Barkley when he had athleticism. It looks more like Zion. Later Barkley’s game was backing people down but that was after he slowed down. I’m not saying Zion is Barkley, but their power game looks more similar if you look at Barkley’s early career.

he will be an all star in year #1. few people can guard him in the current league.

think Malone but with vinsanity athleticism. it's over if he stays healthy

My concern is Zion's longevity. That's a tremendous amount of force every takeoff and landing and his legs might have trouble with 82 games

He’s too short. The NBA is going to kick his arse.

Zion literally could play every position on the court. The dude is an absolute monster. No one can be 6'7 280 and play point guard with anyone in college right now and be as agile as him. its un real he is like a cheat code

Height is overrated, especially when it comes to the post. Length, power and quickness are greater assets. Plus 6'6 isn't short. There is a huge lineage of great post players under 6'7. I don't think you understand how rare it is for there to be a well proportioned and coordinated athlete over 6'3. That is what makes great basketball players so unique and special.

When I was in college, there was a movement that was spurned after Barkley. Huge athletes that would normally play football that started playing basketball. Guys like Oliver Miller, Rodney Rodgers, Anthony Mason, Byron Houston, Corliss Williamson, plus dozens of others. Almost all of them had solid NBA careers, even now guys like Ben Wallace, Haslem, Harrell, PJ Tucker are doing fine. His height isn't going to hold him back. Plus who is to say that he stops growing? He is only 18. Rodman was 5'11 at 19. David Robinson was 6'7 when he started at the Naval Academy. It happens..

Alotta facts from Mr P

And for SFP

You also said he’s a All-Star year one
