But to me he was referring to understanding the offense not his weight. I don’t why thats being misinterpreted.

So do you think that Duke listed him at 285 and he was lighter?? Lol

No I think that he started that season at Duke at around 285 and by the end of it he was probably around 270

And I think that last year in December he was around 275-280

And right now he’s about 285-290

Maybe but the question was do you feel like yourself or something of that nature

Yeah and I believe he mentioned not fully grasping the offense or he could also mean not being in basketball shape. Being in basketball shape doesn’t mean he needs to lose weight. Remembering he hasn’t played NBA basketball since January. Thats a pretty long time.

Dude look at pictures from his very first game and Duke and then look at the March madness photos being shown. He is OBVIOUSLY in much better shape in the March madness photos than to start the season

Lol he was a kid there. He’s a grown arse man now. He’s never going to look like that again. Just deal with it. Doesn’t mean he can’t get to 250 instead of the 265-270 he’s at now. But this board’s obsession with Duke Zion is just fricking weird

This just isn’t the case

At all

And the same way he will never look like Duke Zion again he will never be 250 in his entire career.

If he can play at 270-275 that is an absolute win for us, and that is not what he’s at right now

I agree with you he will never look like that again, but again, he is not 270 right now lol. That’s my point, y’all knuckleheads saying that and he was listed at 285 in this pics lol

Agree 1000%! It is ridiculous! I would love to be in the shape I was at 17 or 18, but that is not realistic. I can guarantee those that bitch and whine in every post about his weight could say the same. It is just something to bitch about because they just do not like him. It happens with every star this team gets.

Amazes me how we have so many experts that can pinpoint his weight from their couch by watching a TV. Maybe there is a spot at a carnival!

I know Shaq is substantially taller than Zion but dude said he weighed over 400 pounds when the lakers won the title in 2002. At the end of the day Zion needs to stay healthy and keep playing basketball and we’ll be fine regardless of him reaching a specific weight.
