The thing is with Zion he is a player that has the size and ability to dominate. If he is anywhere near the hoop with the ball and he has a path he WILL take the ball to the hole and throw it down! This is the major difference between him and players like Nurk who also has the size and ability to throw the ball down whenever he has any clear path to the hoop but simply does not do it.
If Zion is healthy he will dominate a game. It's simple as that.

It's also the reason he's always injured. His power game is not sustainable IMO.

That’s never been in doubt. Funny thing is, go to the start of this thread and look at the posts about how he didn’t have enough game. Haters from the get go. Of course weight is the issue, but people had the nerve to say he didn’t have the talent. That’s what irked me.
 
I still don't know who this guy is but looking at his picture I'm guessing he plays football.

correct. He's also a petty cool guy, getting in touch with the local teams by wearing the basketball shirt of the city.
 
I still want to know how you defend Zion. Who can shut him down? He is a very good ball handler for his size, strength and position and I think that gets overlooked.

You get him in foul trouble and outrun him....make him chase you around on defense and get his legs tired..he's top heavy. Those guys can get run out of the gym. He'll get his pts and dunks but he'll also probably give you the ball and collect offensive fouls
 
Man i can't wait to see him back out on the court.

The problem is, how much latitude will the Refs allow him. Shaq was allowed to plow out the competition in the paint. While he was fouled as well, if it was called correct, Shaq would have fouled out in the 1st half of many games. Is Zion going to be allowed to do the same? If he is, there will be no stopping him. Zion's second jump for a rebound is the quickest i've ever seen for a center/forward.
 
Wouldn’t a Pelicans/Blazers first round matchup be delightful? Of course the Blazers would be the higher seed.
 
With the way he's able to yo-yo his weight, we might have to start calling him Raging Bull.
 
Being in shape like that he's about to be a big big problem. The part of me that's a basketball fan is really happy that he's obviously got his weight and fitness to a place where he can be healthy and play professional sports. The Blazers fan in me is not happy with this development.
