Zion won’t last at that weight. Needs to lose 20-30 lbs if he wants a long career. He’s the type who looks like he’ll always struggle with his weight.

The amount the announcers and even Pop are heaping praise on Zion makes me feel like he's going to flop.

13 points in under 2 minutes. Zion is insane lol.

Obviously way too early to say anything but the 3s are the least thing i would focus on. People get hot and i doubt he will shoot 4/4 for the next couple of years.

I am more interested to see how his inside game will translate and whether his strength +athleticism can work and be a sustainable weapon. Judging from the highlights he was not very good in that regard yesterday but it is of course his first game in the nba.

Went to bed at halftime. Just saw the highlights. If he’s hitting 35%+ from three, then the league is in trouble. He’s still so, so fast, especially on his second jump. He and Lonzo are going to be a blast to watch.

The argument for Morant over him is still predicated on Ja having a closer's skillset and Zion needing to play with another star with a closer's skillset. Luckily for Zion, he's actually better off with Brandon Ingram over Anthony Davis so he already has his guy. It worked out great for Griff.

Markelle Fultz, MCW, Nerlens Noel and Nikola Vucevic ll played in the same game last night. OKC vs Magic. Also SGA and Dennis Schroder were present too. Schroder was once thought of as a possible trade piece for Noel and SGA was passed over by out drafting staff.

Just thought it was amusing.

Vucevic as a Sixer seems like a lifetime ago.

Whats crazier to me is that Thad Young is still only 31 years old. Feels like hes been around for 20 years.

Zion moves like a fat guy though. He's no Keith Lee. And that shot looks ugly af.

Trae Young allstar starter in year 2. Phenom.

Wow that is insane. Feels like a decade on Vucevic too.

I was probably the biggest Vuc fan on this board back then.

I can still remember Doug Collins quote about him.. “did you choose the game or did the game choose you” He drafted Vuc because Vuc is the person who chooses the game. He has passion for it thats why he continues to improve.

Man, I feel bad for Lillard.

Good Lord really only 31. I vaguely recall when Thad had a weed thing going on and his girlfriend was blamed for it. It seems so long ago I would of sworn I was in high school when it all went down. :lol:
