the talking point being pushed around lately seems to be "ZION is over weight, can't move, out of shape"

i mean... he looked like he was moving great in that game before he bruised his knee. :ninja:

I never know what level of bullshit meter to apply to the sports journalists in the US. Here in Aus there's about a 50/50 ratio so it's pretty easy. The market is that small that there's only a few journos who will go off the reservoir. From what I see though on ESPN and Undisputed, etc it could be 80/20 over there. Most of what I watch these days I write off completely.

ESPN is awful.. I like Jalen/Paul Pierce etc - ie real pros.. but Smith/Kellerman? awful.

basically, if a sports analyst "yells" and goes on some kind of loud preacher-like rant, they are full of shit. That's Smith, Kellerman, and a bunch of folks on ESPN. It's just theater.

As for ZION ... i dno. I don't see how him being 285, 300, or 265 has any affect on him taking a knee-to-knee collision. Being 285+ might take it's toll on him in an 82+ game season, but we don't have an idea yet. He was doing great in college before his shoe imploded. Would be great if he ends up being LEBRON-DURABLE in the NBA - tough to do tho.

Amen. The only non ex player with a decent analytical basketball mind? Chris Broussard. The rest are just spouting narratives.

FWIW I'm in the "Zion could stand to shed a few lbs"  camp. First he's NOT as lean as they make him to be. He could easily lose 10-12lbs without sacrificing strength and gaining explosiveness. Additionally a 82 game (+playoffs) season is physically taxing. I read once that the average guard/wing loses about 15lbs throughout the season. That's a significant amount of weight lose via cardio considering they have top flight nutritionist/dieticians and training staffs on hand 24/7. So anything to put less stress on his body would help. Hell, given the increase in game pace even LeBron looks like he's dropped a few lbs. The game is less physical and more speed now.

Granted... That also means he can use his strength to his advantage of played correctly.

basketball players (high school through college) lift now more than ever before.

70's, 80's, and 90's era basketball was some of the toughest around, hardly any of those guys lifted. all they did was hoop.

the "stunt your growth" & "it'll make you slow/tight" stuff was popular for their generations, it isn't now. weight rooms & facilities were hard to come by, now they are everywhere. every athletics program (especially in college) has s&c coaches who make their athletes lift.

lifts aren't magic.

we all know the truth why these guys are getting injured so much. they dont do the proper lifts.

no.

That was back in a more physical era were size mattered more. This era is speed and skill based moreso. He has all the skills to excel: great handle, explosive quickness, can shoot, can finish well with either hand, great vision/passing ability and, the kicker, he can ACTUALLY run the PNR coming out of college!!!! The only question is will he defend his position well and with his athleticism, that's more of a learning angles/strategy and having a want to play D.

corey maggette had more dunks in his tenth season than his first, despite playing basically the same number of games in each.
