Maybe he'll decide he doesn't like a team at the top like the Hawks and gets a legal name change to Euro-ize his name so they skip him. Zion Morzbitchski.
Otherwise 100% barring gruesome and tragic injury.
Hawks will pass on him no matter what. They once drafted a quality player in the first round (Al Horford) and they regreted that every year come pay raise time for years.
Isaiah 51:3
For the Lord comforts Zion; he comforts all her waste places and makes her wilderness like Eden, her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the voice of song.

Matthew 21:5
“Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’”
He scores 25 today vs. Clemson while missing only 2 shots from field, 10 rebounds, in only 22 minutes, while driving to the hoop like Tony Parker. Pretty good game.
Been waiting for the conference games and some tougher competition to see what he does, particularly the incredible efficiency. First two games he's averaging 27.5 pts, 10 boards, while shooting 81% from the field. There's hardly such a thing. It's almost 100% from 2.
At some point if he keeps shooting obscenely high percentages gotta ask if his body type is so awesome that he just takes whatever he wants on the floor, like Olajuwon posting up one of us 5' 10" guys or something. Still gotta wait. Off the charts efficiency. Put it on that NBA stat and he probably rocks Jordan in efficiency so far.
Anyone know anything about his family athletic history? He's such a freak he just reminds me of those generational racehorses whose parents were both outstanding champions themselves and came together and the outcome was the perfect realisation of athletic ability (ie. Frankel)
