Zions Debut

cauley-stein is the first to go...

True.. it’s good for the entire NBA

Idk.. If I’m them I try to keep Lonzo on a team friendly deal. He might take a prove it type a deal given his past hype and financial situation.

Athletic Alchemy

Well that’s why LeBron is a top 3 player all time. But yeah I’d say his personality, his thirst for attention. He has filled in most the holes in his game over the years. But if you recall his first 5-6 years he wanted nothing to do with taking a big shot.

Lebron is discplined despitw his gifts , what is his weakness? His personality and arroance

Your "Last Skywalker" joke killed me! But seriously, I'm wondering if Zion and Ingram are a long term fit. The Pels are going to have to pay Ingram the max this off-season if they want to keep him. Sure, they could trade him later if the fit doesn't work out, but I'm wondering if there's any chance the Pels would consider the following trade: D'Lo, Warriors 1st round pick, (filler), (extra rookie of their choice) FOR Ingram, Ball, (Cap Filler to balance D'Lo's contract). I just love the fit of Ball and Ingram on the Warriors going forward and maybe the Pels would like the upgrade at the guard position that D'Lo brings, pair it with a guaranteed top 5 lottery pick, and one of our young promising guys that will all reach their prime at the same time as Zion and their rookie Center.

Zion's hips look tight on his sprints and shots, kinda like Draymond but lower region.

Paradox

No lie Alc that's exactly how it was Zion's first fart on an NBA court, lol!

Anthony Gray

Fr, they will probably not win a ring, and nobody takes it seriously, but AD might just go to Chicago. Lavine, Markkanen, Carter, Coby White and another high pick this year are more appealing than the Lakers it they lose

José Francisco

Lakers gave up there future to be good for 2 years

Chris Goodman

hopping on the Zion bandwagon might be a great business opportunity. just saying

Qiushi Hu

I think the coaches (Kerr & Gentry) monitor rookies minutes in a strategic psychological way. I believe it’s a form of discipline. Also to control the fire these rookies have to be on the court etc. it’s a privilege to be on the court. These young bucks gotta learn some respect for the NBA.

Antonio lee

Looks like his natural walking and running motions are trying to come out but he’s trying to keep walking how he was supposedly taught by training staff. Kinda like Paschall with the leg kick in his shot, old habits take time to break. I think he’ll be fine though.

Jacob

Zion runs like farewell tour Dirk. That gait looks painful af.

james v

The thing about our potential trades is I think we would only be getting back a future 2nd rd pick. Unless it was a Dlo trade. But I will have plenty of trade coverage into the deadline

Athletic Alchemy

Fair...that would be congruent with his personality

Athletic Alchemy

i had a different read on zion's body language, the bike, and how he looked when being pulled -- it felt like it was more that he was disappointed in his performance on the court and not whining about hopping on the bike

Nikhil Buduma

Been waiting for this! I truly hope this kid can manage to keep his body healthy enough to have a long career in the league, but honestly? Boy needs to drop 35-40 pounds and get some crazy kinesiologist to reprogram all his basic running and jumping motions next.

Owen Salisbury

Can't wait to see if Zion can repeat that three ball stroke. Also with the trade deadline coming up and some of our guys in the rumors I would love to see a video with some of your trade ideas

Simhesh Shastry

Yeah having this pick a year ago would have been much more exciting...but it early in this years crop

Athletic Alchemy

Noti Gang. Man why couldn't we have drafted Ja or Zion
