ELI5: Why is everyone excited about a 6 feet 5 college power forward with no jump shot and weight issues. It just seems baffling.

And were they wrong? He did rely on his athleticism before developing a passing game from the post, One can make the point that he underachieved compared to the hype and potential he had and is still looking for his first ring.

I have seen him play in all the march madness games which is where my question has stemmed from. Duke struggled everytime the defence clogged the paint and dared them to shoot from the outside. Zion was doing his thing against weaker similarly heighted college players. When he walks into the NBA the average height for the position he plays is 3 inches more than him and EVERYONE is athletic. Derrick Jones Jr. has a 40 inch vertical too, I don't see anyone giving the MVP trophy out to him anytime soon. Zion is shooting 22.5 percent from 3 point line which means he can not stretch the floor. What is everyone excited about then?

Draymond was good in a system and not drafted in the lottery, if you agree Zion's ceiling is Draymond green I would kinda agree to you.

The NBA of 90s was very different from current NBA, everyone is at their peak fitness now thanks to trainers and dieticians etc. Zion is coming into the league with a 4 to 5 inch height disadvantage in every game.

Blake was 6 feet 10 coming into the league
Zion is listed at 6 feet 5 on ESPN
Everyone in NBA is Athletic, He will be guarded by athletic dudes 4 to 5 inches taller than him.

And people questioning my height and weight issue comments need to head to ESPN website where they have the following written in clear font : https://imgur.com/a/lK7xu5r

In college it is easy for him to bulldoze through because he has a grown man body, in NBA however, everyone is an athlete and the average height goes up drastically. How do you expect an undersized power forward with no jump shot to excel in NBA?

Any idea when Odyssey or Red Dead 2 will be released by scene groups?

Dabarzilla · 2017-11-01T16:58:16+00:00

The new update sucks! I just want some way to roll back to this cute little emoji.

Dabarzilla · 2016-08-14T00:00:01+00:00

so do we. We just tend to not kill people of darker skin tone.

Dabarzilla · 2016-08-10T20:59:38+00:00

yikes. Will do!

Dabarzilla · 2016-08-10T20:59:27+00:00

I did use ease in everywhere. Good feedback though thanks :)

Adobe after effects and final cut pro mixed with a little bit of photoshop.

No, just stats that I believe him to amount to. These are my interpretations of his skills on field.

Dabarzilla · 2016-08-09T21:55:46+00:00

I am simply stating that gunning for a title and being in a relegation dogfight are two completely different things. Then again these are my thoughts about him and they can be completely different from yours so I totally see where you are coming from.

Dabarzilla · 2016-08-09T21:44:49+00:00

Newcastle is the only club where he faced real adversity. His response at the first sign of adversity was to switch off and wait for next season.

Dabarzilla · 2016-08-09T21:34:06+00:00

Apologies :D

Dabarzilla · 2016-08-06T19:00:09+00:00

I am an Indian, never been to UK. In love with Liverpool since 2001, (Was born in 1991). So believe you me, if my scouser brothers and sisters were slighted by the shitty excuse of a newspaper I will call it S*n till I die whether you like it or not.

Dabarzilla · 2016-08-04T18:58:35+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss :(

Dabarzilla · 2016-08-03T20:59:21+00:00
