This is why I was never on the Zion train and wanted us to avoid him. The talent is definitely there and he’s almost unstoppable in the paint, but he plays above the rim too much for his size. His lack of a jump shot and size is what will limit him.

He’s on the same level as CJ and Booker now, but they not ready for that convo.

This Doncic vs. Kawhi matchup is very entertaining

He looks legit. The bulls offense also looks good which helps

Watching him tonight was kind of unreal. Kid was chuckin 3s like Steph and showed a lot of speed and explosiveness. Chicago is definitely looking pretty decent around him too.

They’re gonna be in the mix for a lower playoff spot. The Young and Sato additions will really help that defense. All eyes on Lauri to take the next step

He'd make more money in 4 to 6byears of basketball than a full injury free NFL career, so he made the right choice.

Is that the same knee he hurt in college? Knicks may have dodged a bullet here...hope it’s not serious for him though. I don’t wanna see another Greg Oden situation. Zion looks like the real deal (on offense)

What exactly is the difference between Zion Williams and Blake Griffin? Obviously an all-star but I have trouble envisaging building a contender around him.

This is why i was a big supporter of coby in the college thread he can ball and his game is well equipped for the NBA.

If healthy, Zion will be better at every facet of the game.

Yeah, financially you're right. Good point.

A lot of good guys came out of this draft. Luckily for us RJ looking solid as well.

CJ's done it deep into the playoffs. I wouldn't compare him to the other two for that reason alone. CJ's a money player.

He really is a smarter and more savvy player by all accounts.
