Zion actually reminds me of Harold Miner. He is a big fat Harold Miner

Zion's like the ultra-elite athletic version of Randle, albeit it with less refined skills - at least not as refined as 2020-2021 prime Randle.
But he's also super young - a month younger than RJ! It remains to be seen what his "mature" body is like - does he blow up like 'Spoon or stay lean and mean? Does his athleticism go away sooner than later (DSJ) or can he maintain it 'til his late 20s (Amare/Blake). Or heck, will he get even leaner as he hits his prime (Charles Barkley) and expand his game? I can't help but think Zion's superstardom will have a limited shelf life, though. Human connective tissue isn't normally made to take that type of abuse! “That was two, two from the heart.” - John Starks

Watching Zion was interesting. He is what he is because of his athleticism. I saw little actual skill. The skills that were better than I thought were passing and finishing around the rim. So if he can expand his game by adding shooting and post moves then his game will age gracefully. If not, his career will be shorter than expected.

Some harsh words about Zion
He’s still so young. Time will tell but one key thing will be to see how he learns to best use his skills and athleticism Guy is scoring 25+ at 60% (5)(5)

Since we have not seen a body type do this, we can’t logically think he can sustain a 10 year career but to say “he is fat” might be a bit of an pedestrian statement. Your not watching his handle either. He is a quick jumper, his second jump is phenomenal. He should taper the rim protection down as to preserve himself. |
