A peek at what LeBron James would have looked like in college
- Thread starter John Kelly
- Start date
Zion Williamson lived above the rim last night against Indiana and he's a terror in transition.
He will be the first player selected in next June's NBA Draft.

I gotta keep an eye on Zion

Brilliant post.
I thought the same thing when I saw highlights of this guy about two weeks ago and I was like, "How have I never heard of this guy."

Ya think
Supposedly Zion is the 2nd best player on his team? I have no idea but if anyone gets drafted before this guy, I gotta check out that guy's game.
Most mock drafts have the Duke trio going 1-2-3.
Zion also reminds me of Amare Stoudemire at the same age.
Man-child.

The NBA is at its best when force and finesse are featured prominently.
The force from some of the biggest and most athletic men in the world and the finesse from three-point shooters and master ballhandlers like Steph Curry and James Harden.

Too much force is not attractive (think Charles Barkley backing down an opponent with endless dribbles for a layup) and likewise, too much finesse is ugly when players incapable of long-range shooting launch shots from beyond the arc.

I didn't know there was a triumvirate. I thought it was mainly him and RJ; supposedly the dude better than him.
I hereby Christen him, "Mount Zion."
Cam Reddish is the third wheel.
Coach K with an embarrassment of riches because Reddish was named both a McDonald's All-American and "Mr. Pennsylvania" last season.

I was watching ending of Maui vs. Gonzaga and the stud was hanging outside the 3 pt line?
You have your most dominant paint presence & rebounder out 20 ft from the bucket with the game on the line needing a basket to force OT ?
Thought he was either a decoy or uncoachable.

Will look good alongside Booker and Ayton.
Ha.
Well done.
Forced me to look at the NBA standings.
Phoenix showing the way at 4-17 with Cleveland hot on its heels at 4-16.

Celtics on Sacramento's first rounder, just saying...
Great call by EOG contributors TEXED and BRIANS on the Celts lighting up the Cavs tonight.

The C's get Sacramento's first round pick unless it's first overall, they also have Memphis's first round pick (top 8 protected) and the LAC first round pick (top 14 protected)
Thanks for clarifying, KANE.
Almost Allright
GO Bucks!!!
Coach K will really out do his less with more trend if he can’t win it all with this bunch

Just saw a video of LeBron's kid dunking during a game, he's 14 years old

That is probably the destination as long as he keeps developing.

Holtzman and OSU are a quiet sleeper for Lebrin’s kid
Patrick McIrish
OCCams raZOR
Juvenile school and boot camp quiet sleepers as well.....
That's the age (13 or 14) many NBA players say they started dunking.
Television doesn't properly portray the massive size and sheer strength of these NBA players.

Good pull. Had to google Holtzman but I figured it was The Ohio State University. Time reveals all things and God willing I'll be here 4 years from now for the big reveal. During the interim, I'll be arguing w/ people, perhaps yourself included, to kill time until then

LOL.
Maybe he will be a Proffessional Skateboarder; Savannagh says that is what he wants to be but as Bronny's self-appointed Godfather, I helped him change his mind.

FTR, I am a pacificst for the next 48 hours. Funny or not, you are talking about my Godson.
Shades of Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr.
Remember when they hit back-to-back homers for the Mariners?
Amazing.
For trivia buffs: Kirk McCaskill of the California Angels surrendered the historic home runs.

Yes I do, I want to say the game was played in Anaheim, but not positive on that
The tricky part of the trivia question is McCaskill's team, the CALIFORNIA Angels.
Scottie Pippen on ESPN recently called Zion Williamson the best NBA prospect since Michael Jordan.
kane
EOG master
Sorry, but the best NBA prospect since Jordan was LeBron James, for all the hype Zion is getting, LeBron got more
Pippen once said, "I was LeBron James before LeBron James."
I LOVED Pippen's game.
But I don't care for Pippen off the court.
Same situation holds for guys like Dennis Rodman and Ron Artest (aka Metta World Peace).

LOL. I know. I wasn't even going to say anything. These guys are funny.
Oh yeah, fellas, BTW, MJ was drafted 3rd.
