Let em

Same guys laughing all gave us an A when we took Bender, Chriss and Ulis. They don't know shyt and this shyt is largely a crapshoot. I didnt love every move we made but the guys we got make a lot of sense to me.

Nah people didn't understand that shyt than either.....Now Ulis was a decent 2nd rd pick....

shyt...I think it was the Celtics who gave him the word they would pick him....Sounds like some shyt they would do.

if im pulling my guy from the combine I better have a damn promise or multiple teams tell me that if he's there at a certain number that we will not let him go

This nikka was flat out lied too

He should be at NC State right now!

Breh needs a trainer and a nutritionist.

This who they been hyping up? :mjlol:
Hope I’m wrong but I just don’t see it with Zion. He won’t be bigger than everyone like in HS & college.

He better watch his diet down there in the NO

Charles Barkley in the 80s:

Zion is bigger, faster and more explosive than him.

That oaf Julius Randle gets wherever he wants on the court in the NBA right now and Zion is him on steroids and HGH.

The goal is to get the most out of your body.

Of course you can cherry pick the people who rated the draft high...but I recall people saying that they should of went in different directions...i didn't agree on picking 2 PF/C types that move has not seemed go work out yet whenever teams double down on the same position.

Zion got legend potential but he definitely needs to drop about 20 pounds

He may not be able to drop 20 pounds scale weight...once his conditioning improves he will lose bodyfat but the dude may be a solid 265-270 especially as he gets older...its not like he's fat...But yes if he could lose some excess BF and get to 10% or so it may be better longevity wise.

I just think Larry Johnson/Clarence Weatherspoon.

why are yal acting like zion isn't in amazing shape?

dude's conditioning went to another level at duke

Look at the pics on this page in pelicans jersey

He’s definitely carrying excess fat

That’s fine for regular sized guys but if he already weighs 285 he can drop it

not everyone who plays ball is *or should be* at 6% bodyfat or less. its a problem when weight is clearly slowing guys down - like baron davis, felton, or waiters showing up to camp straight up sloppy and out of breath.

if that's his natural build that he's maintaining and building around then good. he's already dropped a lot of weight and made big strides since high school. his conditioning team is on point. i think basketball is one of the only team sports where you're expected be nothing but fast twitch muscle and its always been kinda odd to me...

he’s prolly above 15 (if you’re talking a real test).

He can afford to drop some weight given how heavy he is
