Lord if the kid is having these physical problems at 20, how is he all of a sudden going to bang around the league for 20 yrs?

If Zion never plays another game he’ll have had a better career than Oden. Hell, if he only played his rookie year, his career would have been better.

Do you even know the injury Oden had. To compare the injuries Zion has had to his is a joke.

No. I think Zion will end up being successful, just not in a Pels uni.

Oden is an extreme case, but Zion is not trending in a good direction. Oden's issues were structural. He always tended to be in shape, his joints just failed him. Zion's foot injury was likely caused at least in part by being overweight. If he can't keep his weight below 250# at all times, he will keep getting injured.

Not unless he grows up and starts acting like a professional. Dude looks more like Tractor Traylor than Lebron, and his potential was based on a Lebron-like physique. Larry Johnson is looking like his closest comp at this point. Great player who got too fat to reach his potential.
