I see a lot of comparisons to grandmama and sir Charles, but what about the reign man? I’m watching highlights and I see Shawn kemp running the court and throwing it down. Shifty in the open court, plays with power, has a post game with good foot work, great defender, etc etc. shot needs work just like kemp.
Just curious, we forgetting kemp, or the comparison isn’t appropriate?

We do have the another Gary Payton in Evil Jrue, but Kemp wasn’t much of a creator for others. Especially with the intangibles Zion might be something we’ve never seen before, so you need to compare him to multiple players to describe him.

6’7” 280 vs 6’10” 230
Similar in their violent dunking but that’s about it.

I don't know why you are getting downvoted. You hit it on the head. They are physically very different. Kemp was tall, long and lean. Zion is very muscular and compactly built. I think the comparisons go to Barlkey, Corliss Williamson, Rodgers, Byron Houston and Oliver Miller cause of how heavy and muscular they were..

Someone never saw the young version of Sir Charles play

He's Grandmama prior to the back issues.

Kemp was way over 230 the last few years of his career once he started drinking uncontrollably.

I think Zion is Barkley who is a better shooter. I don’t think Zion will ever turn into a 40%+ 3 point shooter, but he’s got a really good stroke, he’s a smart player, and he’s gonna work to improve it. By year 3.. Zion might be something the league has never seen before
