Zion’s effort

The one thing that amazes me is that he makes it look so easy. His 21 points tonight looked effortless. When he gets 100% in basketball shape, the league is fricked. This guy can go 35 and 12 nightly without an issue.

Honestly I feel the opposite .. many of his points are because he gives MORE effort than anyone else on the court
When he puts up a shot that he knows isnt going in, hes bullying his way in for a rebound to try and put it back up.

I get it. He hustles his arse off. Maybe I should say easy. He makes it look so fricking easy. And his skill around the rim is fricking crazy.

Gotta get his free throws at least to 60% though
3/8 from the line is killer

Harden looks easy.. as in, hes shooting threes or 4-step euro shuffling into the lane and then shooting free throws
Zion takes a linebackers build and goes from standing still to 100mph in the blink of an eye. The more I see him in action, the more I understand the team wanting to ease him in

dude is an extremely fluid 280

He seems to be pacing himself. He knows that if he goes all out and shows that he's tired, the docs will have Gentry pull him. So he picks and chooses moments to go all out. Like I haven't once seen him sprint in the open court despite having moments when he should. Maybe they told him to avoid doing that. Not sure.

Its kinda crazy watching the guy move around the court the way he does.
With THAT vertical leap.
He's BIGGER than Cam Jordan for Christ sake.

I was at game tonight. He’s capable of doing whatever he wants. My take is when he learns to play off the ball and get in position to receive a pass down low. He will wreck shite . His touches now are often off loose balls or scramble plays . He’s impossible to guard around the rim. Was the first of many for me this year and beyond.

I would say on plays where he bullies other players down low its easy for him on those plays because he is so much stronger than his opponents. Another thing I am noticing is that some players are not aggressively challenging Zion physically which is a bit surprisingly to me because I watched all his Duke games and most teams where at least willing to take a charge on him.

They dont call many plays for him either. All these points on effort. This is gonna be fun once the guys really really gel.

Regardless of what they are saying, he’s closer to 300 than 280

I think he’s going to have to get better at FTs before he puts up MVP type numbers.

yeah they had him listed at 285 at Duke. No way he is 285 right now if that was even close to his real weight at Duke
