i still wonder about zion size wise for the NBA but his athleticism and playmaking skill are reminiscent of ben simmons, but he's far more polished of a player
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 7 November 2018 16:54 (five years ago) link
hes like larry johnson with vince carter hops
yeah I was thinkin LJ for a comparison too. Partly cause Zion just gives off 90s vibes, maybe it's just the haircut.

lol this whole thread so far and not a mention yet of Duke's best player, R.J. Barrett
granted, Zion is much better than i realized. it's insane that if he were in the NBA today, he'd be the second heaviest-listed player (behind Boban) at 6'7".

idk, i could be wrong, maybe Zion's better. but RJ looks smoothly unstoppable most of the time. (except not at the end of the Gonzaga game.)

small sample size, but 41% shooting on 21 shots a game on an insanely stacked team is not great. idk, i haven't watched enough to have a real opinion on his game.

It should be a fun game tonight as long as there aren't dozens of fouls to gum up the flow. Seems like a toss-up in terms of the talent on the floor.
― Judge Roi Behan (Aimless), Monday, 5 April 2021 20:28 (three years ago) link
yeah, clearly the best two teams ... now that this is the final, i'm glad their December game got canceled. reduces the noise before and after tonight.
i figure the Zags will find a way, but will not be shocked if Baylor pulls it out.

yeah same
― lag∞n, Monday, 5 April 2021 22:07 (three years ago) link
zags have a higher true talent level, with a starting five that'll all be drafted, but baylor is a truly relentless team on both ends. could definitely see them giving the zags similar problems that ucla did.
no real rooting interest (tho the overall grossness of baylor as an institution makes me favor gonzaga a little), im just hopin for good hoops

seems clear gonzaga just doesn’t have the athletes outside of suggs. timmie can’t play defense vs this team. i think gonzaga can still win tho if baylor goes cold from three... they might be the better team but are also shooting unsustainably

agree Timme is a defensive problem for the Zags. and that if they're gonna come back, it's gonna have to be centered around Suggs (and free throws)

baylor came out loose and confident. gonzaga came out flat and were a bit tight and tentative all game. zags catch and shoot players caught, started their motion, saw pressure coming, brought the ball back down, and looked to pass, over and over. drives got smothered. baylor allowed the zags no rhythm at all. great defensive game by baylor.
