agreed

I’d really like to see Zion wind up with the Hawks because he and Trae Young would be a delightful combination.

Against Virginia Tech he's playing like he's not very interested in playing unless he sees a chance to add to his highlight reel. Otherwise he's just marking time out there. nagl, imo.

idk since i turned this on he's had a sick block on a play where the guy thought he beat him as well as a sweet drive and layup

yup. sick blocks go into the highlight reel. sweet drives, too. he probably had about 8 or 9 really excellent plays in this game to add to his collection. it's not like he played badly. he didn't. he played more like he knew he could turn on the jets if he had to and instantly make up the difference between being fully engaged and a bit lackadaisical.

dude you are so wrong. I haven’t seen a player with zion’s motor in a long time

really? are you watching the NCAA tournament? the players may not be NBA talent, but, good lord, they burn through energy like four year olds on a sugar rush. they all have motors.

ok, a serious NBA prospect. there is absolutely no question about his motor — it’s one of his biggest strengths imo

zion can be in the nba but first he needs a good scolding lol

my main concern with the NBA is that they let/make him put ZION on the back of his jersey

I will tarnish the name of the first announcer who calls him williamson

classic aimless

shame about carolina tho

aimless what on earth! I read your post before I watched the game and was looking for any semblance of what you were on about and found nothing.

Since January 8th, Zion Williamson is shooting 40.5% from 3 on 2.3 attempts per game

OK. But I took a look at the box score a minute ago. He played all 40 minutes. He had off-the-chart offensive numbers: 11-14, with 1-2 from 3pt. Also 3 blocks. Exciting stuff!

But he only took one FT, had 1 assist, and for a big man 6 rebounds in 40 minutes is not exactly bad, but not an indicator of extraordinary effort. This kind of supports my impression that he's a human highlight machine, but between highlights he was not exactly dogging it last night, but not really putting out his full effort either - which is what I thought I said to begin with.

1) he wasn't getting fouled because the defense was just getting out of the way once he was in position.
2) in the 6 minutes i watched he tossed a couple of great passes to open shooters, but they missed because the rest of the team sucks. saw a dude shoot an airball *past* the basket on a corner 3.

he didn't seem to be in great rebounding position at times but i'm not sure it was an effort issue.

playing all 40 minutes is pretty taxing I’m sure...

if he were *really* trying he'd have had more than three fouls, smh

duke college has failed to live up to my beautiful sons high standards

suing duke for giving my son a bad grade aka not winning the tournament his prospects are ruined

i want Zion to fail bc I want bill simmons predictions to fail.

Coach K on the hot seat

Zion is going to return to college as player/coach

also I'm pissed it's looking promising I might be able to get a free ticket to the final four and I wanted to see him

could be cool to see the players that won games

i want Zion to fail bc I want bill simmons predictions to fail.

zion will not fail if anything ppl dont know how good he really is

Zion has "epochal star player" written all over him as a freshman as much as Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, or Lebron (had he ever gone to college).

I don't understand college basketball. Does this mean no more Zion til next nba season??

no more Zion til next nba season??

Yes.

Zion's college team lost today. Before that college team plays any more games, Zion will enter the NBA draft and be drafted at #1. Then, come late October, if he's healthy, he'll begin to play NBA games for his new team.

xpost wha?

Feels wrong.

LET. ZION. PLAY.

Zion is on the wolves now

haha I got u April foolz

damn

realized if he never learns to shoot he wld still be extremely good in a giannis like role w a shooting 5

the legend grows

“He literally broke the club!”

Grown. Man. Strength. 💪@Zionwilliamson pic.twitter.com/uRd3cV6WX6
