    Is Zion the new Oden?

    Realistically, do you think he’s done? If so, why or why not?

    Personally; I think it’s over. You can’t eat 8 cheeseburgers a day while injured and expect to rebound.

    He clearly wants out of New Orleans and doesn't care about that team. With a new team he likely will better, but obviously there are character issues. He plays no defense and is a lazy person, he also has a sense of entitlement.

    He might be done, but still not Oden. Zion averaged 27ppg in 61 games last season. Oden never did anything in the NBA.

    But yeah, I doubt he will be able to stay healthy. But when he is on the floor, he will be a force.

    The word on Zion is he is 60 pounds heavier then his playing weight from last year and the team wanted him to slim down then to prevent future injuries

    He might be a bust.

    Sick of all the hype with these athletes that come out of college to the pros and are a complete bust! Why are we seeing it more and more all the time now?? It's ridiculous. Keep the HYPE to yourself!

    This is a good point. However, I think the hype really hurt him. Made him cocky.
