I don’t think you understand anything about body types or morphology at all if you can’t realize that someone who at their skinniest is 270-275 literally can’t be 250
There is no scientific basis for anything you are saying. His body type is unique and he is naturally heavy/thick. But he can certainly exist well under 250lbs.
Draymond Green is listed at 6'6, 230lbs. Is Zion carrying 50 more lbs of muscle than Green? If so, is it necessary?

He would have to literally starve himself and lose at least 20 pounds of muscle mass. I don’t think you understand what 250 pounds would mean for his health he would have no energy because he wouldn’t be eating enough food to sustain his body
He would have to eat and train like a professional athlete.
Do you believe that Zion is dedicated to his training and in peak condition? Is he the best version of himself?
Is there any player in the history of basketball that is a similar size the you can reference?

He needs to lose 40lbs at least. He’s got to be about 260/270 right now.

zion at 250-255 would be a huge win compared to whatever mythical number he is now.
So you want him to lose about 15 lbs like everyone else? Not at least 40
Zion losing 40-50 lbs would be ridiculous and not the number he would need to be at. Posted on 11/16/23 at 11:50 am to iwyLSUiwy

Please, please answer this simple question. How do you know this?
According to everyone, Zion has never been at or under 260lbs. How do you know he would be diminished at a lower weight?

Because his muscle or weight no longer be an advantage inside. His game is predicated on him being physically bigger inside. If he no longer has that hes basically just another athletic guy that cant shoot and his ability to score in the paint will be severely hampered.

Because his body type is only effective with that extra muscle. That’s what allows him to be so effective inside. Without the muscle he would still have a good 1st step but he would get pushed around and he wouldn’t be as powerful. You’re literally asking him to get rid of what makes him so unique and generational

Are you serious? How do I know Zion would be diminished at 210-220 pounds?
Because i want 2020/21 Zion back when he averaged 27ppg on 60+% shooting and was an absolute beast down low. I don't want Zion to have to transform his game into something he's not or get mauled down low and not be able to take it. There is no good scenario where Zion is a better player at 210-220 than he is at 245-250 (what we assumed he was at as a peak Pel). His inside game would be much worse and he doesn't have the outside game to make up for it. Posted on 11/16/23 at 12:09 pm to iwyLSUiwy

He was never that light. And also I think Zion as a peak pel was probably 2022 December

Ha zion look fat as a motha in the 2nd page 1st pic. Probably Fake. He is all over the place in one year at Duke. Zion is probably bi-polar or some type of low level something, in a spotlight. And a maturity level is low for his age. But here it is.
Also, I think his build is either going to prove to be one of the worst builds, or one of the most dominant ever. Not looking good so far but ya never know.
