We need something from the city since the Saints suck. No telling when we'll make the playoffs again.

I keep hearing that he’s really in shape.
Wilbon and Kornheiser were talking about it today…

Admittedly Zion looks good. I would’ve guessed he’d have played 25 games this season but he looks like he’s ready for 35-40 for sure.

He looks just like he did in his injury-free days in HS when his highlight videos initially went viral and took the basketball world by storm.

I like the way he looks right now, but too skinny is preposterous. He probably still outweighs Ant Edwards by 40 pounds (which would be Zion's true ideal weight)

If this were anywhere on his mind he would’ve taken the opportunity when Dumars offered it to him this offseason.

Wait, are you saying Zion still needs to lose another 40 pounds and play at 225 (even though he is 2 inches taller than Ant), or are you saying he is probably at his ideal weight now?

4 weeks? This guy can put on 15 lbs in 7-10 days.

I’m not really saying it in a bad way. He just looks so different it’s almost hard to process. He will lose a bit of his strength but he was already the strongest player in the league so I’m not worried about it. This version of Zion could be the best player in the league. And yes I’m biased but I think there’s real reason for optimism as a Pels fan.

I'm saying, to truly be healthy, and limit wear and tear, he needs to be closer to Ant's weight and probably play like Ant. Which means, varied shot attempts and not always pounding into the lane. I am not 100% sure if their height difference. If Zion is truly 2 inches taller, then maybe 15 pounds heavier than Ant would be ideal.

Yeah, 225 is probably too light for Zion. His build is much different as well (he is much more muscular).
