    Playing him 3 is just an excuse to force him to lose weight. They can say he needs to slim down otherwise he wont be fast enough to guard 3s.

    Zion is a 4, thats where he can utilize his size and speed advantage. There is really no point to all that strength Zion has if he plays 3 cuz 3s play at the perimeter. If you are gonna say Zion is a 3 but plays in the paint while his 4 stays at the perimeter bombing 3s then why even have positions in the first place, whi cares what their no is its what they do thats inportant...

    No. He starts at the 4 with a big at the 5 that has some shooting ability. Then, he moves down to the 5 in a small ball 2nd unit. It’s exactly what GSW do with Green.

    Zion looks slimmer this pre-season. I hope he keeps his weight under control because as I mentioned in my original post, it's the only really in his way to making hundreds of millions of dollars in his career.

    He's basically Charles Barkely 2.0

    Will be interesting watching him and Luka for the next decade.

    zion and luka should team up once their rookie contracts are up. that would be my favorite team immediately

    Their draft low key is one of the best ones in history. lots of good players coming out of that draft.

    He chose the right sport cuz with only 10 yrs of health left bball the only sport that will allow him to make 100s of millions of dollars in contract and shoe deals.

    His longevity is something every non casual fan can see coming a mile away. NO just hoping and praying a miracle happens that's why they treating him like he is made of glass.

    At this rate, Zion may not even get a max extension. I wouldn't give him one unless there was a weight clause in it.

    If Zion was a hardrive, he'd be a FAT32 that got reformatted to extFAT.

    Pelicans needs him to be a SSD. (Slim Shaped Dunker).

    I don't love Shaq but his reaction to Chuck is priceless here -- when something is so funny you just have to hear it again so you can keep laughing.
