Zion Williamson - Page 25 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

But what does that mean, really? Does it mean he's going to have 26,000 points, 7000 rebounds, nearly 5000 assists, be a 10 time all-star, be a finals MVP ... like Pierce??? Or does it mean he's going to have some highlights that Pierce couldn't do?

Can't imagine a better scenario for the kid than being picked by the Lakers. If everything is terrible it will be blamed on Lebron, and he can't disappoint more than Lonzo.

When you are such a media darling like Magic, one often develops a radically skewed perspective on what you can get away with and what you can't. LeBron has it, Brett Favre had it, Zion could well develop it. And it screws things up. Magic just did what I wondered aloud about Zion a few days ago. He said, basically, "I'm not having any fun. I quit. Here's my effervescent smile. I'm the guy you all worshipped since I can remember. Why would this not be okay?" The super media darling can fall prey to all manners of this.

Yea right. He'll always live on kobes shadow-**** that.

Best situation would be a small market team whos got some young talent. Anywhere but LA or New York.

Suns would be an ELITE fit imo. Just need a PG and they’re set.

ELITE fit?

Zion and Ayton don't exactly fit modern day NBA spacing wise.

Zion doesn’t need thenball, let booker and ayton dominate the shots and get a veteran PG and suns are an instant playoff team 6-8 seed and likely a force in 3-4 years when Gs/HOU runs are over. Call me crazy but it’s entirely plausible....

Zion doesn't need the ball, yes.

But that doesn't mean he shouldn't HAVE the ball.

DUCY?

Ironic that people claim the Suns are an elite fit for Zion. He would struggle to fit into pants that were the volume of our sun, at just over 1.4 x 10²⁷ cubic meters

Note : I’m born and raised in Phoenix and still reminiscing on the Nash/amare/Marion/joe Johnson era that didn’t win a chip.

Saying that I’m praying for Zion or Moran or else it’s a complete bust for Suns imo as they already have too many wings.

I am prob higher on Ayton's shooting than others, but I could see him becoming an above average 3-pt shooter next year. 35% from 16-3pt line this year. A full offseason, and he could become John Collins from the corners imo.

Al Horford opts out and signs a 4-year deal in ATL. Hawks run a lineup of Young-Huerter-Zion-Collins-Horford with Deandre Hunter off the bench. What seed do they snag in the East?

Probably gonna be another situation where Zion has insane efficiency but the Suns have an idiot coach who wastes too much touches on Booker and Ayton (Barrett and Reddish).

Nah don't think he'll have insane efficiency at the next level. It's not man agasint boyz at that point. You don't shoot 75% on twos. Even for a week. He's already peaked.

75% no.

But I can see him doing 60% from the field.
