We're now in 9th behind Boston (which in itself is crazy). The organic tank continues :lol:

Didn't Hachi miss those free throws in crunch time? Did you see all those rebounds and monster blocks Zion got? those skills usually translate well into the pros.

Duke has better talent but there's a difference in freshmen and a 2nd year player this early in the season. Zion looks great in college but he's got short arms for the NBA and he'll be undersized.

Why do alot of ya'll keep saying that about Zion? Or is it just you that keep saying Zion is undersized? Why do ya keep bringing that up? it's annoying already. NEWFLASH: Half the NBA is undersized if we're going by old standards. Is draymond really a center at 6'8? Zion is stronger and bigger than him. is RHJ a center at 6'7? Is Donovan Mitchell and shooting guard at 6'3?? Exactly. Can you please stop bringing that up. The dude jumps higher than everybody in the NBA and is stronger than 95% of the NBA, how is he not going to get his shot off? And he isn't a score first type of player anyway .

How does James Harden get his shot off in the NBA?? He doesn't have a 7'9 wingspan yet he's able to score against taller guys all the time. It's baffling.

Celtics was 16-2 last year, they are 9-9 this year. It is very pleasing to say the least. Looks like Kyrie is almost as good as gone but I'm not sure if I even want him here the way he's been playing. With 20% of the season over Kemba>Kyrie

C'mon bro, you can't seriously be comparing Zion's offensive bag to James Harden

Zion's ceiling in the NBA is Julius Randle, and his floor is Thomas Robinson

I'm not comparing Williamson's skillset to Harden, I'm making a joke because the idea that a 6'7, 285lb player with a 40 inch vertical leap and a 6'10 wingspan can't get his shot off versus NBA players is absolutely ridiculous.

Zion's ceiling in the NBA is Julius Randle, and his floor is Thomas Robinson

Williamson is more skilled than both of those players and he looks like he could play both SF and PF on the next level.

Hey I was skeptical of the kid too coming out of high school because he was just dunking on 5'8 white kids playing for a private school. Now? He is absolutely legit and there is room for serious growth. The idea that he's going to be Thomas Robinson on the next level is laughable my dude :lol:

Zion can't create his own shot off the dribble. I'm sure he'll be able to make cuts to the basket and we know he can finish at the rim, but trying to bowl over people doesn't work in the NBA. Half the time Randle and Robinson used their strength to overpower people they get called for a charge or wind up tripping over their own feet.

Unless Zion plays SG he will have to jump to disrupt the shot of opponents with bigger wingspans (aka most opponents at SF/PF), which will take him out of position and will likely draw a whistle.

The Nets need to go with the BPA and that means the players that can make immediate contributions to our lineup, like Jarren Jackson Jr in Memphis. Not someone who's gonna be glued to the bench in foul trouble for most of his rookie year.

Starting to feel like we are a lock for a top 10 pick.

We need a home-run Marks!

LeVert and Allen picks were masterful but we need another player with even higher potential to add to our core.

It's useless to speak about Zion, RJ, Cam, Bol Bol, Nazreon, Bassey, Jalen Smith

Duke boys are top 3/5 and the others are big men and we mainly need SF/SG and there are lot of good players at these positions so I don't see the staff pick a big men
So Doumbouya, Langford, Nassir Little ...

A Bol Bol and Jarrett Allen frontcourt could be the equivalent of pairing Porzingis with Gobert

SpeedyG · Post #352 » by **SpeedyG** » Mon Nov 26, 2018 9:12 pm

Need to see more of Bol but I dont think he's as coordinated as the unicorn. I don't think he can play 4.

I thought so too but he looks really intriguing as a combo with Allen. His coordination to me isn’t too different to Jaren Jackson Jr. He’s just longer and taller.

If we are at 5-8 and Bol Bol is there you take him no questions asked without even factoring Jarrett Allen into the equation. you take Bol Bol and you figure out the rest later. Same thing I said about Mo Bamba.

I love Allen, he probably has a ceiling similar to Tyson Chandler... maybe better offensively and not quite DPOTY on the other end. But Bol Bol could be a perrenial All-NBA player. Size to protect the rim like none other, athleticism to switch on smalls and talented enough offensively to get 20+ a night.

Maybe you make Allen the best backup center in the league. Maybe you turn Allen into a young similar talent at SG/SF. Maybe the 2 can play together. But if you think Bol Bol is the real deal you dont worry about fit with Allen. We need a stud.

there is literally nobody in the NBA who can defend this

this kid is gonna be a problem. it feels like watching anthony davis 2.0

Bol looks like he could play NBA PF. He's pretty light on his feet. I don't think he'd fare well at C right away based on his frame. Rebounding and blocks though are a lock with that kid. I've said it when he was in HS he is skilled af

I mean the skillset, wing span, height...you can't think twice about it.

Post #357 » by **CalamityX12** » Tue Nov 27, 2018 1:56 am

How does Bol Bol play against physical players? I imagine the grown men in the NBA would able to deal a little blows n dents into him throughout the game.

I don't see the skillset of AD nor Porzingas in him though... that's playing down to AD n KP imo

Bol Bol was literally hitting contested shots with ease that Ewing was yelling at his players from Georgetown for taking

People are questioning how Zion can finish in the nba...Bol better be used to taking shots off balanced coz he'll get pushed off his spot every single time.

He's intriguing but damn if he isn't a stick. I probably wouldn't mind taking a chance on him depending on who else is left, but I'm making sure my performance team gets some beef on him (and one his frame can support).

It's good to have length, but I'd be damn if my 7 ft whatever with crazy wingspan is taking fades and low percentage shots I'd scream at my guards for taking.
