It's staggering just how much Blake has fallen off Athletically..

i thought he was for both duke games a month ago already
College games in September are irrelevant. He's not going to be better than RJ Barrett or Cam Reddish. He'll dominate in college most likely just due to his athleticism but that ain't gonna work in the NBA when guys are on par athletically and have the size and length (pause) to give him problems. He's gonna have to develop a reliable jumper.

Well, he's turning 30 this season and he's had injuries.

Also, he's still a well above average athlete. Jarrett Allen is a very good shot blocker.

Don't know about all of that. He's been looking slow and mechanical out there the last couple years. And Allen would have gotten slaughtered at rim had this been 4-5yrs ago. Let's not act like this is more Allen than Blake..because Blake was destroying prime Ibaka. Who was a much better shot blocker than Jarred Allen

Blake has always been stiff, mechanical, herky jerky. That's why his post game is the way it is. He's a well above average athlete still, how many 6'10 guys can outrun him. His open court speed is still impressive, he's still acrobatic, and he can still dunk. His game is more perimeter oriented now. He's more of a stretch big and point forward now.

Jarrett Allen is a lot bigger than Ibaka at 6'11 with a 7'6 wingspan and could potentially lead the league in blocks one day and Blake shouldn't be as athletic as he was 4-5 years ago nearing 30 with several injuries.

I'm not disrespecting Zion...Like I said, he won't be the best player from Duke and he damn sure ain't gonna be the best player in the league either. This is coming from a Duke fan too... :camby:
