There is a huge difference to that, and to a player that bust due to not being able to play at the level of the NBA. Not only did Zion show that, but he excelled. The players that have shown ability to play in NBA, should never be written off.
I think he looks as big as Shaq from that image which also could not be stopped. Hard to tell what will happen from now on with Zion. I would not write him off.
He deals with injuries and needs time to come back. If he keeps being injured and retires due to injuries, its clear he will be a bust.
However, if he is healthy, it's clear he is an unstoppable force in the NBA.
Oh, sure! It's all hypothetical right now and there's plenty of room for it to go many different ways.
But, it's not about health (exactly), because the injuries have very clearly been caused by the weight. As you get heavier, your feet, knees, etc, have a more difficult time doing even basic work safely, and he's trying to be a professional athlete (whose game hinges on uncommonly athletic movement, no less).
I'd say the biggest issue facing Zion is the weight.
