Yea, and AD was too skinny and his frame would never be able to fill out as an NBA player as well. That was the Narrative when he came out.

If his weight is an issue a few years from now than ok i get it. Little soon to be calling him Eddy Curry.

ESPN with the bullshite already.


HE WILL NEVER BE IN NEW YORK YOU frick FACES!


Zion will walk onto the court in shape and ready to skull frick the entire league along with the rest of the Pelicans.

This dude is the ultimate competitor and has "IT" and "MAMBA."

UNLIKE THAT PUSSY AD AND LEBRON.

Whatever he weighs now he needs to be 20lbs less when the season starts. At least.

I said it in the “Zion will be a bust” thread, but he’s going to have to watch what he eats. He seems to hold weight and with that will come injuries if he’s not careful. He needs to be around 260-270.

If he joins the WWE and changes his birth location to "Parts Unknown" maybe.

He shouldn't be playing near 300.

To be fair everyone thought he would be out of shape when he missed almost a month during Duke’s regular season. He came back for the ACC tournament, played 3 games in 3 days and ran circles around everyone per usual.

Yeah. That's still plenty big and strong and 20 fewer pounds will go a long way in career longevity.

Reminds me of the transformation Barkley went through from leaving Auburn and joining the Sixers.





Zion's only an inch taller than Chuck was...no reason he needs to be near 300.

Zion will probably grow another inch or two over the next year or two.

I think he'll be in the 270 range. I guess people have a different definition, but i consider 90% of 300 to be "close to 300 pounds"

lol no he doesn't "need" to get to that weight. You want him at that weight because you assume if he's heavier he will have health issues later on in his career. He doesn't have excess body fat at 285. That's his playing weight. He is very healthy at that weight. He just already has that much muscle. What body fat % so you think he's at? I have a hard time believing he's even at 15%. More than likely around 12% or even less, which is extremly healthy. Sure he COULD lose around 20 lbs and maintain the same strength but in no way does he "need" to. Y'all love to pretend you know what you're talking about. Anyone who can jump this god damn high doesn't "need" to lose any weight.
