If injuries weren’t a thing he’d be top 3 in the league easy if he controlled his weight I truly believe he’d be the best. Nobody can stop him. An off night for him is 50% from the field
Zion would benefit so much by developing his offense further. His style of play as it is now + a long history of injuries is a recipe for a short career.
Zions game as a point guard is already special though. Its something OLD school like Earl the Pearl, Fly Williams, Slick Watts. The way he slowly penetrates the paint and is still looking to dish the ball or just take a couple quick steps for his own lay. It's special. I agree he needs to get more comfortable just taking jumpers. But I feel like with how his game as a guard is right now, we just need to build the right team around him. Get some big guys who can cut, get a center with soft hands and quicker feet than JV. Also mandatory that everybody on this team set screens to free each other. Cannot be a sit around and way for a catch and shoot
@@crockerakahops90sjumpmantexaswell of course because lebron stopped defending the best players years ago . Zion would have had more points if lebron was on him.
@@aeazy108 False ASF and he's always made spot up 3's and shoots 34% for his career, takes only like 5 per month though lol. He's never shot a 3 off the dribble. Hes made damn near half of his 8-12 foot pull up or fadeaway jumpers. Bro always makes em, but never takes them either. His catch and shoot game from 3 is probably slightly above average. You have no idea what you are talking about fam.
@@aeazy108 Most efficient scorer means he makes more shots than he misses better than anyone EVER, but hes been injured a lot so he coulda had more bad games. He barely even has bad games so that's how you get here statistically. It's paint dominance, but he scores from other spots well also.
Zion finally has the right mentality. Before this, he was basking in the glory of that NBA money. But now, he seriously been working hard and it definitely shows. 💪 🔥
Yeah he's good but he's not that good. Throw in the fact he's too fat for basketball and there's not much to see here. Y'all need to go watch more basketball smh
@@savii4912exactly what i’ve always saying! He a legit ball handler, can shoot 3. Just because he to dominant in the paint so the Pels put him as 4. If they put him at 3 I think he would be way more effective cuz his scoring range is stretched now
Zion was one of my favorite players to watch from college to NBA, but the not being a strong 3pt shooter in this league matters. Then you realize he's like prime Blake griffin
Better than Blake he can create his own shot at will compared to Blake. Blake can score like Zion not even close Zion just needs a midrange the goat was not 3 point shooter you don’t need it Giannis Zion a beast
Zion is the Bo Jackson of basketball. If he wanted to, he could play in the NFL too. Hopefully he ends up with an organizarion that can help him take care of his body so he doesn't end up like Bo 🏈 🏀
Shawn Kemp couldn't dribble and had no guard skills. Also only averaged over 20ppg once, while Zion hasn't had a season under 23ppg. They play nothing alike.
@@detroitewarrenyeah Zion scored 26 last season and 27 point the season before that dude can score if he had a 3 or middy easily 30ppg kemp can’t do that
Watching LBJ in camp with team US... He's so lean!! No excess, super efficient... Zion needs to drop 25 pounds... for his own health/longevity. He'll lose a little strength, but he'll become more nimble.
Whenever Zion is Healthy they have been the number 1 seed or beating everybody to get there. They have the talent but need the consistency to win a chip.
Aint never seen a Zion before... its like a strong VC Fr tho... black ppl sometimes built like that. I seen Darryl Dawkins family members and they built like that.. Zion got th3 build and movement. Never seen something like that
I say the same about D Rose when it comes to the injuries. It's because they can use their explosiveness for extra steps, like coordinated adjustments in midair after jumping or changing direction in mid-sprint. That comes at the cost of way more strain and wear than a normal human.
How is he like lebron and he can’t shoot middy or the three he can’t even create a shot off the dribble you gotta cut it out he’s not even a dimer, terrible take
His problem is he doesn’t post up when he knows that he can. Same thing with his jumpshot. He’s literally showed that he can then when he gets out in that situation he gets undecided and nervous then passes. He’s too unselfish and plays too timid and times
I really enjoy how much more open today's ballplayers are with their podcasts and interviewing other active players. At the same time, I feel like it has killed the warrior mentality of Mike and Kobe that made them antisocial a-holes. Like, the purist in me is thinking that unless your game is complete, you should be working on it right now instead of sitting down talking about it. I know it's old thinking, but it was weird for me to hear PG ask another player about their locker room situation and have that player answer, when they were competing in the same conference.
I thought Zion would have been dominant, kinda like Shaq was. I still think he hasn’t learnt how to use his size and speed. He should definitely do some work with Shaq. Shaq is the best player that he is most similar to.
The Pelicans are as good as any Team in the NBA.its just health of Zion and Brandon Ingram...when healthy they literally beat teams by 20+ points..it showed earlier in the season. Then the injuries and personal issues impacted the team..this up coming season can be very special if healthy and keep the personal issues under control .and just hoop ..young team now growing more professional and accountable..looking for this team to be special this year..and year's to come..let's go pels
Zion reminds me of a more athletic nimble Rodney Rodger’s with mad bunnies……Rodney Rodger’s was a very skilled big man player who career got cut short from the accident
Zion is a great kid and an insanely gifted athlete and when you’re that dude the spotlight is bright imagine being a superstar in the spotlight since you were 15 or 16 everyone wants a piece of you. It’s a blessing and a curse at the same time, but he seems to be handling it well better than most would be able to guarantee that I wish him all the luck. He’s really a good kid.
The top 2 people NO ONE wants smoke with are Steven Adams and Zion. And Unlike Adams, Zion has been this powerful since he was in college. No one wanted to check him directly for doing that 360 vs the suns.😂
"So what was your welcome to the league moment?" Paul. Cut the podcast shit and get in the gym. We ain't forget all that cap u said about bringing titles to LA and all that too what happened???
"I'm a hater at heart." Yeah he's one of us, I like this dude

If health wasn’t a factor Zion got all the tools to be in those top 5 or even face of the league talks
True but he still about 25 pounds overweight
If injuries weren’t a thing he’d be top 3 in the league easy if he controlled his weight I truly believe he’d be the best. Nobody can stop him. An off night for him is 50% from the field
He has no outside shot and isn’t tall enough to dominate over a long period of time playing the way he plays
@@TheRealPaulyDhe is a bucket. I blame his health. If he ever played 70 games we would see his true talent
@@TheRealPaulyDno outside shot? You’re crazy
Trey is underrated dude can shoot the lights out and compete in the dunk contest
One of my favorite young guys
Another Zach LaVine, Wiggins prototype. But he looks even taller than both of them
@@rueservinbest comp is rashard lewis. Very few guys in the history of the league can shoot like him and fly

Developing a consistent midday would help

Zion had 40 on AD & bron with ease then got hurt. Boy different
NO HE HAD 40 ON AD NOT LEBRON HE DIDN'T SCORE MUCH ON LEBRON.
He didn't get hurt they pulled him to save face for the NBA@@crockerakahops90sjumpmantexas
That was rigged fake injury they told him to chill after that

I've seen you in training blocking his dunks all ball 🏀

He had the best rookie numbers since Jordan and if he retired today, he'd retire as the most efficient scorer in NBA history

Zion is one of the most dominant players i've ever seen.
Ever.
And he's just getting started!
Then you haven’t seen much
Yeah he's good but he's not that good. Throw in the fact he's too fat for basketball and there's not much to see here. Y'all need to go watch more basketball smh
5 yrs never had a full season but he's just getting started hahahaha
This guy has to be one of the most likable players in the NBA. Continued success.
Zion need to get back down to his college weight. That's when he was really jumping out the gym. He still does but not like then.
i think zion should play the 3 . with his height, playing the 4 forced him to bulk up
@@savii4912 Naw he was still at PF in college. He could still loss weight and have dominance.

Paul got that max deal. He’s a good guy too. One of my favorites to watch.
lol PG talking about zion getting past them when the backline was plumlee & daniel theis 😂
Zion is an evolved Barkley.
If he develops a good mid range he will be unstoppable imo
Definitely
Zion plays nothing Barkley that’s a disrespect to Barkley
Not really that similar in play style, zion not half the rebounder chuck was
@@1Eashawty chuck a decent shooter too
Strong Bar of Soap killed me😂😂😂

I’m not going to lie, I really want Zion to get a championship ring one day.
Shawn kemp went thru the same thing that’s who Zion reminds me of
He didn't go through the weight or injury issues until the lockout
Shawn Kemp couldn't dribble and had no guard skills. Also only averaged over 20ppg once, while Zion hasn't had a season under 23ppg.
They play nothing alike.
Did you just say Shawn Kemp couldn't dribble? 🤦🏽♂️

@@detroitewarrenyeah Zion scored 26 last season and 27 point the season before that dude can score if he had a 3 or middy easily 30ppg kemp can’t do that
If Zion would stay healthy, Top 5 player!
Idk about Top 5 player…..Definitely Top 10 though.
Watching LBJ in camp with team US... He's so lean!! No excess, super efficient...
Zion needs to drop 25 pounds... for his own health/longevity.

Freak of nature 😮
Can you make an episode with Jerami Grant pls
Trey was a solid player when he transferred to and played for UVA, did not expect him to be a boardline star
I see TM3 being president of players association at some point.
Another UVA player in that position? Love it
Zion in a 3v3 is probably terrifying sight
Strong bar of soap 😂
Zion is a Glass Cannon. What good are you to your team if you cant help them
We need the Ja Morant interview.
It's crazy how many people turned on him. Just like Westbrook
Aint never seen a Zion before... its like a strong VC
Fr tho... black ppl sometimes built like that. I seen Darryl Dawkins family members and they built like that.. Zion got th3 build and movement. Never seen something like that
Imagine Zion in good health to compete with the olympic team. Those foreign squads would catch absolute hell looking at this dude.
Zion and Ja deserve to be on the Olympics squad based off their talent alone.. That boy Zion is a dog
I say the same about D Rose when it comes to the injuries. It's because they can use their explosiveness for extra steps, like coordinated adjustments in midair after jumping or changing direction in mid-sprint. That comes at the cost of way more strain and wear than a normal human.
Hes shaq& barkley in 1 unstoppable, gotta drop more weight before its too late tho😂
His health is the only thing stoping him.
Zion was unstoppable in that last game against the Lakers, sucks he didn't finish and got hurt
Then he got stopped dummy
He's about to put together some healthy seasons and blowup!!
Never
If nba players are amazed by zion and we think they are freakish just imagine what we don't see or understand about these players
Naturally 🥤
"I have time for a podcast, the NBA season is only 60 games"- Paul George
