Is everyone really convinced he's the real deal for the NBA.
I know there were some concerns about his 3 point game.

Ceiling of Blake on offense, Draymond but with more athleticism) on defense. Oh, and off the charts intangibles.

So, yeah....pretty sold.

Playing NBA schedule and training staff i think he will end up playing in the 270 range which will be fine.

More i watch him the more i agree that he's special.


My buddy has been fan of NYK for 45yrs, i asked him, AD or Zion, he said AD.

Concerns about his 3 point game?

There are concerns about Simmons 3 point game. And Zion is another tier above Ben

I’m skeptical of every player who steps up to the NBA. Statistics and a few previous surprise busts cause me to be that way. The dude is a great college player. the NBA is a different world.

All you really have to do is watch Duke play. Williamson just jumps off the screen. Beside his size, he is just super explosive and has freakish athleticism. That type of thing transfers to the pro game and will make him special. You can't teach or develop what he has..

I think his freakish size and athleticism is going to honesty put his offensive ceiling above even Griffin.

It’s just insane the guy can move like he does playing at 280. 30 pounds more than a guy like Griffin.

But even if I’m wrong Griffin’s offense with Green’s ferocity and leadership, with good character intangibles, that’s a generational combination.

Yeah I thought Blake as the ceiling was selling him short.

This guy has the drive of few people we've ever seen.

He could literally end up top 10 all time

That sounds like he’s built to help out small market teams who get gutted by larger markets of their star players prime years.

I think the 270 stuff has become a tall tale, i think he is probably closer to 250.


his athleticism and coordination will allow his floor to be really high. He's very safe imo.

I’d say Zion is a tier below AD when he came out. Still would love to get him

Draft is always full of unknowns. Andrew Wiggins was supposed to be the next LBJ, but he’s just a good player. The last four MVPs have been 3rd, 4th, 7th and 2nd overall picks.

I disagree. He's a better prospect coming out of college than AD was.
