Poor Kid...

I'd say something inbetween. His body will have a hard time dealing with weight/athleticism long term. Even if it can, I still have doubts in his skill beyond dunking - can it really translate to elite level star factor.

Incredible player, but this could be expected. Don´t care about it much, though. All what matters to me: Mavs really should crush the Pels in those three early meetings. Could be an invaluable lead in the playoff race.

We need to take advantage of this. Could throw one competitor pretty far behind us.

Dude freaking nailed the meniscus thing....wow.
And yeah, everything about how Zion walks is a GIANT red flag. Great kid though....

WOW! So much for not major injury concerns and just resting him for extreme precaution.
The dude played 5 preseason games and tore his meniscus. Terribly bad luck. Hope Zion gets better and returns the exact same. He is so much fun to watch.

I'm just not feeling it on Zion. He's a ton of hype. He does have touch around the basket. But, he doesn't really have a jumper. Essentially, he's an undersized big that needs a head of steam. Why does that sound so much like Julius Randle? I see him being injured a lot because of that weight. You can't be the heaviest player in the league but just have average NBA height. He would have been much better off playing in the NFL.
I actually predict that he will tear one of his ACLs within year 1 or 2 of his career.

Just looking at how the guy walks in this video is completely unnatural to me.

Stumbled across this piece. Obviously he went for the short term fix - can´t believe the Pels´ medical staff is so dumb.

Seems very shady, clickbaity and pretty rudimentary/somewhat dishonest.

Btw: you‘ll find comparable discussions online about Porzingis‘ knee bending in an unhealty way or Dennis‘ landing mechanics.

Being in elite condition has nothing to do with the claim that he is too heavy. We all know he has 300 pounds of muscle. But this weight is still wearing out his knees.

Bust written all over this kid, due to injury and too much hype. Plus his defense he beyond bad.

Yep. He's in great shape but he's simply too heavy for his knees to take the pounding for 75 - 90 games a season.

My takeaway from Zion's debut is the Spurs decided not to guard him outside of the paint.
Pop mind game backfired.
Regardless, the kid is going to be a problem for a long time.

SA still won. Next few games will be critical for New Orleans. If they get even further out of the playoff picture, they might be sellers on feb 6th.
