Oh boy

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Whiteside is 7 feet tall.

Let it go

I mean that's 3 inches taller than Randle..

Randle is 3 inches taller than Zion..

 

[sooperhooper]

Zion already my favorite nba player. Boy chunky out there and still gliding from the free throw line just imagine when the trainers work their magic and have that boy lean. Speaking of magic, i think that's where he'll land.

That hop stop dunk between 2 defenders by Zion is a grown mans move.

I can’t see a college freshman being better than him this year, no way. The way he moves has NBA star written all over him.

About to be everything Anthony Bennett should’ve been.

He hadn’t been the best player on his team during this 2 game Canadian tour

 

[ballinsam23]

Please stop believing in dark skin Canadian ball players.

Someone on twitter said Zion = Rodney Rogers

 

[ballinsam23]

Shawn Kemp, Anthony Bennett, Josh Smith come to mind.

He's not even better than other dudes on his own team.

He has Robert Traylor written all over him. Relax.

What channel?

regular fox

 

[B Sox]

DC rolling over in his grave at these comps

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Zion is basically a athletic jaylen brown

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Someone on twitter said Zion = Rodney Rogers

No.

Rodney could really shoot

Rodney had more of a perimeter game

Again, big, black, and left handed doesn't mean you play alike

 

[B Sox]

Ok. How about Anthony Mason?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Ok. How about Anthony Mason?

Anthony Mason was a Point Forward that couldn't jump.

Just stop man

 

[moonman818]

I think Larry Johnson was the most accurate comp for Zion at this point

 

[B Sox]

Bob Lanier. Artis Gilmore.

 

[MajinZuub]

Zion=Chuck on steroids

 

[B Sox]

Zion is basically a 285 pound Brandon Jennings.

So 2 Brandon Jenningsis.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I think Larry Johnson was the most accurate comp for Zion at this point

The last dude we compared to LJ...........

 

[B Sox]

Zion is a Thicc Thaddeus Young

 

[equality]

Zion just a dark skin Manu Ginobili
