Marion and Grandmama are more classic comps, but Zion has a little more perimeter DNA. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with Blake is that he never became that transcendent star he appeared to be after his rookie season, but he has quietly become a dominant force offensively. He just doesn’t really impact the game defensively. Also he’s 30 and people assume that he’s worse because they knew him for the athleticism/dunks which fades with age.

I'm with you on the Zion/Blake comparison as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying he will have Draymond Green's defense is completely asinine and deserved the response I gave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he'll be slightly better than a regular All-NBA performer meaning he'll be one of the elite players in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. I said not Top 5, but anything after that wouldn't surprise me. Couple more All NBA teams than Blake did would do it (Blake's at like what? 4? Probably mostly 3rd teams?). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah definitely. I think the Blake Griffin trajectory is a good one for him and very likely. Blake was extremely popular during his first few years in the league. Zion will probably put up similar numbers and be one of the most popular players in the league as well. But I don't think he'll be in that top tier of players.

I like the "better" Blake Griffin comparisons. Shawn Kemp too. If he keeps working, he definitely will be a great NBA talent. I would have taken Griffin over Zion if they were in the same draft. Zion NEEDS to slim down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
