All I said was he wouldn't be elite on ball. He probably will be really good tho. And he should be elite in the most important aspect, especially for big men, in help/team d.

MookieMonstah Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 If he lives up to his potential? Top 5 player. NBA hasn’t seen an athlete like him since Lebron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mox Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 He'll likely be really good. I could see a few years averaging around 25-13-4 with great defense. He could easily be an MVP down the line. Athletically and strength wise he's special. He's shown a lot of defensive talent as well. If he can keep working hard, avoid knee injuries and fix that jumper he's going to be a big time problem for the rest of the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMossIsBoss Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I could see top 5-10 player, but I don't think he'll ever break into "best in the world" conversation." I am going to predict he never develops a reliable jumper, and will at best become serviceable wide open catch and shoot guy he was in college (wouldn't rule it out, we've seen much worse jump shooters develop into reliable shooters, but I'm going to predict he won't). If he can own the glass while playing up to his potential on D, even protecting the rim (Ben Wallace did it in an era with bigger 5s that stayed in the paint, Zion can too), while being a bully in the paint that'd be enough to make him a perennial all-NBA kind of guy.

MikeT14 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 His ceiling is pretty dang high in my opinion, but probably not Top 5 in the NBA. I like the "better" Blake Griffin comparisons. Shawn Kemp too. If he keeps working, he definitely will be a great NBA talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanSlim Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Absolute peak/full potential Zion is some type of hybrid between Blake Griffin and Draymond Green imo. A consistent all star and All NBA caliber player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't usually like saying this, but zero percent chance he busts "quite hard." His athleticism and defense will make him good period. He's going to average nearly 20 PPG by just by an elite roll man, good rebounder and a beast in transition. Definitely needs to cut some weight though and develop some type of outside shot.

Definitely needs to cut some weight though and develop some type of outside shot. This. LeBron James, Steph Curry, Julius Randle have all said this as well. The most impressive part of Zion's game is how hard he plays. With his athleticism, ability to finish around the rim, and hustle he's going to score 18-20 as a roll man, in transition, and off of putbacks. He has one of the quickest 2nd jumps that I've ever seen. He has a lot to improve on but he's going to be a productive player.
