          I expected him to look a little like a shorter penny hardaway, but he's not even close.

          He's coming on though.

                  Lets put it in perspective.............Westbrook is older of course but he is already 2x the player he is making teammates better and one of best drivers to the hoop in the league

                    He is a sick man out there.

                    Stay healthy, he will be an all time great.

                    Pelicans have tears in their eyes watching this kid on sports center

                        I tried telling you last year how freaking special I thought he was. Per usual you prob wernt listening. I think he added some muscle to his frame before starting his nba career too, looks like it to me anyways.

                          Too fat to jump that high. Never stay healthy, Blake griffin type ceiling imo which is obviously a great career. Think he peaked early tho and Ja will go down as the superior generational type talent pro.

                            That’s why I took Ja Morant at +450 to win ROY and not Zion at -money

                                  Because he didn't enter the draft. His cousin Ja did.

                                    Fultz was more of a combo guard with some nice playmaking abilities. Ja is a PURE point guard. very Rondo esque. Rondo couldn't hold Ja's nuts though. he's on an entirely different level. JA's WORLD.

                                        imagine watching a player in his rookie season as dynamic & spectacular as Ja, and then this being the first thought that pops in your head. Ill never understand this sort of mentality. there is light at the end of the tunnel. I promise. god bless your soul friend.

                                          I think we’ll be waiting forever for him. He’s never going to be 100% healthy. Sometimes when you’re given that freakish body at such a young age it just doesn’t all jive

                                              Will be a great player down the line.

                                              He's more of a chris paul with more athleticism.

                                              Not saying he'll be as good as Paul, as Paul is one of the best pgs of all time, but think he models his game after him.

                                              Zion should have been the #1 pick because he's better... Plain and simple.

                                                i don't understand how college scouts missed him.

                                                i think this is correct, if not exactly then something like this...... his father is well-known basketball figure (coach, HS?, AAU?). i think he was on same AAU team as Zion Williamson........

                                                so the kid had amazing exposure. but no good NCAA offers. then 2 years at Murray State?

                                                it doesn't make sense how this kid fell under the radar......... in the NFL, eric fisher (sprouted in size very late) and khalil mack (injured for extended periods in high school) fall into same category, but as noted there are explanations for it. and they played more NCAA years than morant.

                                                  zion was going to be #1 pick no matter what..and probably deserving even if he had poor NBA career. he brought the pelicans back to prominence himself.

                                                    why won't he hook up with 2 other stars 6-7 years down the road?... yes, he will probably never win title in memphis

                                                        This. Omg. I think there’s a good chance that Cole Anthony will be the best draft pick out of the past 5 years or so.

                                                          yeah he is too mechanical

                                                          defense wins

                                                          every game is basically a coin flip
