Ridiculous. What is he saying?
Basically talking two sides of his mouth like he usually does on TV. He was saying I think he is nice but he ain't the answer

Then when he does well he’ll be on the bandwagon.
Then after every bad game he’ll trash him.
This guy gets paid millions to act like some of the GB posters

As far as Zion, I don't think he would have been the savior either. I had some concerns about his weight and injury issues. With that physique and athleticism, he could take the NBA by storm and be something the league has never seen. Or there's a chance it could be a story of what could have been. Don't get me wrong, I would have taken him at #1 lol. I'm just saying there was concerns with him too.
Yao Ming was literally too big for his feet to handle the load. I'm thinking Zion's explosiveness is going to put such G-Force on his lower body that he might develop structural foundation issues as well. He is an anomaly. It is one thing for MJ or Dr. J to take off from the foul line and slam dunk the ball, but they are gliders with sinewy and relatively svelte frames.
Zion is a freight train and the load he carries may end up being too much to physically bear long-term in the NBA. He really is built like a linebacker and those guys don't vault and leap five feet in the air; they grind at ground level. That is the body type Zion has so we'll just have to wait and see.

I know you're not subconsciously saying this to pretend that we actually got the best player in the draft (let alone rooting for it) because there are legit concerns about Zion's long-term health, but man I would be devastated if he didn't pan out because of injuries.
He's the most likeable superstar prospect to enter the league that I have ever seen. He really seems like a really good kid, and it would have been so easy for a guy like him (with his strength) to be a d*** or a bully. Maybe he is and we simply never heard about it, but I doubt it. I hope both he and RJ succeed in the NBA.

Proof he would shat on any knicks pick.

You know why he's not sold on RJ.
Because he's Canadian and not American. SAS stays hating on foreign players. He only gets hyped for US players.

Where does he get picked last year in your opinion
I'd say #5. Maybe #4, but Grizzlies usually make dumb picks
Idk. I think they did a good job this year b/c they got Clarke on top of Ja. I’m way too high on that kid
I could see him going 6 to ORL. They need a stud in the backcourt in the worst way.
