    Zion Williamson NBA Predictions
    go on record with your thoughts for his rookie year and career.


    I see a rash of injuries, not age well and don't think he'll have much of an impact after 3-5 years in the league.

      I think he's a bust. He's only 6-6 and he can't shoot. If you look at the players who bust the most in the NBA they are players who dominate with size and athleticism at college but against bigger and stronger NBA players their inability to shoot gets them exposed.

                Not built for today's NBA game. Would've done better in the Barkley days. Too much ball movement these days. A strong thick body doesn't mean as much. It's speed or height. His height is not there, and whatever speed he possesses will decline. Bust.

                                      I could never articulate how idiotic it is to think that Zion Williamson will be anything less than one of the most dominant players in NBA history, let alone thinking he will be a "bust." He shot 68% from the field in college and went 12 for 13 last night, yet according to you, he "can't shoot." I can only hope the mods don't give me a one-week suspension when I bump this in a few months after he is shooting 54% from the field and averaging 21/9/3/2/1 as a 19-year-old. You don't need to always be a contrarian.

                                        He should average 17, 7 boards , 5 assists

                                              I'm basically with you, although that might be overstating the case just a bit. But yeah, he's going to be tremendous. I do wonder about his longevity, but he is going to dominate a lot. Very efficient player. And a smart team player to boot IMO. We;ll see how good the Pels are. They are still probably 1-2 players away from being serious and it's not exactly a destination. If he can do it there he can do it anywhere. They need to stack run and shooters around him.

                                                wtf are you guys watching? he looks unbelievable. Pels got some talent on that team too. Gentry a terrific coach. wouldn't be surprised if they grab a playoff spot.

                                                      Zion will not be a great pro, good player, but not the best player on any team or leading scorer on any team he plays for. Career averages will be about 16, 4, 4. Not tall enough to catch alley oops over every other big man and not quick enough to guard the 3's. Will have lots of highlights.

Career averages will be about 16, 4, 4. Not tall enough to catch alley oops over every other big man and not quick enough to guard the 3's. Will have lots of highlights.
                                                          he scored at will against the best defensive big man in the league last night Rudy gobert. he is too quick for everybody. he is too strong for everybody. his explosiveness as an athlete is something never before seen on planet Earth. do you understand? don't say silly things just to say them. watch the game more. I chuckled at your assessment.

                                                              Rookie of the Year

                                                              Lrobably a 20/10 type guy and everyone here will say he’s padding his stats and is overrated, all while they’re sitting on their sofas lucky to walk on a treadmill 3 times a week

                                                              He’s explosive, a bigger version of Westbrook... trades speed for some size. His athleticism and the Hornets need for him to succeed will fuel his career early on. He’ll get a max contract after his rookie contract expires, but not sure he’ll have much of an impact 7-8 years from now

                                                                He will over power guys just with strength like James did and still does

                                                                    He's too strong and athletic to be a bust, and whoever said Anthony Bennett is fukking clueless. He reminds me of Larry Johnson, I could see a similar start to his career as well. Let's just hope he doesn't get hampered by back injuries and a jealous tift with a teammate over who gets paid more.
