I'm fine with that. But franchise changing talent iis what people have been projecting. Is he a All-NBA first team type of guy? I'm not sure I see that. He would definitely have to be a suped up Draymond for that to happen.
Franchise changing talent is a bit of a subjective term, but what if he brings incredible energy to a team like PHX and immediately levels them up? Is that considered franchise changing? I don't personally see him as an All-NBA first team guy, but suped up Draymond isn't out of the realm of possibility, IMO. Draymond was a team's best player in a 7 game NBA Finals series. If I can get something like that, I'm cool.
 
Gotta disagree here.

From 2009-2015, in the top 100 high school ball players, guess how many NBA All Stars there were? Eleven. 11/600 players top college recruits.

Close to 90% of the top 100 HS players each year didnt even make the league.

The top 100 lists are based on your high school resume, not your pro potential though. Plus only 60 guys are drafted every year and a quarter of them are foreign.

Being a top 100 isn’t an indication of being a pro
 
Draymond is definitely one of the most unique players we've seen, but on the same token, Zion is also one of the most unique prospects we've seen...

Some of this **** doesn't even make sense.

Heh, yeah I don't disagree, in fact I posted the same video recently :lol:

To me, questioning his ceiling is fair game but when it comes down to it I just want to know if any of y'all are willing to go with someone else for #1

Not for the top players imo. Maybe for the no names who are the leading scorers in North Dakota or something like that. Top players are all potential.

Looking at most drafts in general, you'll be lucky there are more than 2-3 all stars.

Yep.

What are the arguments for drafting others over him?

Do we think Ja Morant is going to be the next Westbrook?

RJ Barrett going to be Jimmy Butler-ish?
 
#1. **** Duke

#2.


#3. I tried to told y’all

I still don’t think Zion will be ROY

Put it on wax. Quote me.

His non-nba body will catch up to him eventually

Zion Williamson is Little Blake Griffin

His knees will break down the same way

or like Rose

Convince me otherwise

I don’t wish anything bad on Zion

I just wouldn’t be surprised if he tears an acl/mcl

These Wall, Rose, Blake type injuries is what I’m trying to tell y’all about Zion.

Y’all ain’t trying to hear me though.

I already said this but Zion not winning ROY

If Zion signs with Adidas I guarantee he gets injured his rookie season.
 
DZion is also one of the most unique prospects we've seen...



Which is why I've given up trying to prospect his path on the next level. He's a 1/1. I see the red flags from conventional perspective, but I'm of the belief that the sheer will he imposes on the game isn't going to disappear as a pro.

I'm with it.
 
If Zion can be a second/third wheel on a title contender that's as much as you could as for

From a size standpoint, there is no comparison. Overall impact and skillset is where I see it.

But I agree, you're hoping for that 2nd/3rd best player on a winning team, and I think he'll have that type of impact.
