~$100. Bought them earlier on flashseats. https://www.seats3d.com/nba/houston_rockets/#/p;40__p_117_2/
He looks good averaging 20 on 64ts% in 25 min. He looks overweight, but if he gets in the shape this guy is thing to be very good.
I agree...I think most people do. The question is how good, and for how long (ie, injuries, etc.)? It's one thing to be really good. It's another to be G.O.A.T. But he's certainly off to a very good start...albeit already with an injury. He definitely would be a player worth going to see. Maybe even currently ahead of Luka among young players...due to newness factor?
It's a given he is gonna be very good though, everybody knows that cuz he averaged like 75% FG in college and they didn't even run any plays for him. The concern is how long he is gonna be very good, like when Blake Griffin was first going to the NBA the hype for him was unreal as well. ESPN or some other draft site even jokingly called the year he got drafted as the BBG era in the NBA (before Blake Griffin). After he recovered in his 2nd year and started blowing up people were calling him the heir apparent to Tim Duncan. But now look at him, nobody calls him GOAT material lots of people don't even think he is worthy of a max contract, I saw some youtube vids calling him the worst contract in the NBA. You know he is bad when Clutch Fans thinks we should give 100 draft picks for Kevin Love but don't even mention BG. And the crazy thing is he is only 30 yrs old, the same age as Harden and WB. He's only played 10 yrs and he is already considered washed, people are treating him the same as Melo when he should still be in his prime. That's the danger Zion is in, I think he might actually have a shorter career than BG cuz he is smaller and overweight right now, as he gets older his metabolism will get worse and his hops will decline so his role player potential is definitely worse than Blake's. I think in the long run Ja Morant, RJ Barrett and maybe somebody else from the 2020 draft are gonna outclass Zion in the same way Harden has left Blake Griffin far behind.
So I was at the game yest. Too close for comfort most of the time but it made it entertaining. First off, Zion is huge and he is huffing and puffing out there. He is too damn big and his movement/running just doesn't seem fluid or natural. I just don't see how he is going to survive 82 games in the NBA for 10 years. I stand by my statement that he is overhyped and injuries will eventually ruin his career unless he leans out big time.
His running form and the way he walks freaks me out a bit. It really seems like he's just moments away from a serious injury. Also, it feels like he was quicker and had more hops in college?
I didn't follow him much and i don't really know if he has a good chance to get injured etc, hopefully not, but looking at him against us yeah, count me in the group that thinks the way he moves doesn't really look...normal?I wouldn't say bad cause i have no basis to say that the way he moves/runs is factually bad, but i never saw a player move like him, it just looks really unnatural.
Man his shorts don't even fall freely off his waist. it's like he is running around with his thighs rubbing from being so thick. it's so weird. like one of those fat middle schoolers.
When Zion lands with his legs almost straight I imagine bursts of energy emanating from his knees like on Dragonball Z. The force with which he lands is that palpable to me. He looks bigger than he did in preseason, but I never got this good of a look at him like I did in yesterday's game.
I just don't see him lasting 82 games for multiple seasons at the way he's built plus his play style. What do you do if you're the pelicans? Do you try to maximize what you have now with Zion for 3-5 seasons and have him play at this weight and playing style? Or do you change his weight/play style to hopefully keep him longer than 5 years? For Zion's after bball health, I hope he changes his physique/play style but the way he his built now is what makes him special. I hope he proves me wrong.
Maybe cuz he is up against college kids. In the NBA even the bench warmer getting DnP Cds was an all american.
