Zion Williamson vs. RJ Barrett Pt. 1, Summer League edition (Knicks vs Pelicans)

[k0kakw0rld]

The world is waiting for the Klaw to either break all canadian hearts. Or maybe he just wants to see if the Lakers will give it up if he doesn't make a decision by midnight.

Meanwhile, Summer League season already started. :rockon:

[stalkerforlife]

It'll be funny if RJ turns out to be the better player after all this hype.

RJ certainly isn't shy.

[Kblaze8855]

RJ was supposed to be better. Zion was supposed to be RJs sidekick going into college. Never know how it turns out.

RJ averaged 5 more shots, so he played as if Zion was his sidekick.

RJ will have a better career than Zion.

[Manny98]

He's Canadian and plays for the Knicks, guaranteed bust :roll:

Shit. Kid is in trouble.

[Kblaze8855]

No matter what happens here we are assured some overreaction. I still remember people here saying Lebron wouldn

[Kblaze8855]

You just know a knicks fans there has a poster folded up that says

[Marchesk]

Exactly.

It's very strong with RJ.

And sometimes that mentality makes a superstar if coupled with skill.

RJ doesn't give a f uck.

So RJ is the next Westbrook?

[Sheik1287]

Anyone have an HD stream?

[insidehoops]

Game is on ESPN, FYI

[insidehoops]

Knicks up 20-9

[fourkicks44]

So the Knicks summer league team is essentially the Knicks regular team from last season plus RJ.

[k0kakw0rld]

Horrible shooting form :facepalm Knox is cooking his ass and guarding him defensively. :biggums: #1 pick? :confusedshrug:

[Kblaze8855]

That was some Barkley shit there.....

You will see that clip of Knox getting bullied quite a few times the next few days....


But yea he

[Meticode]

Zion was like "No lightskin" to Knox. :oldlol:

[FireDavidKahn]

70% of the time Zion gets into the paint he will draw a foul.

Against bench players.

[FireDavidKahn]

Against bench players.
NBA players won't be able to do a much better job. Dudes already one of the heaviest players in the league and his athleticism and explosion is generational. No one is going to bully Zion.

[insidehoops]

End of first quarter: Knicks 32, Pelicans 23.

Kevin Knox 10 points
Zion Williamson 10 points
Allonzo Trier 7 points
RJ Barrett 6

[stalkerforlife]

Zion can dunk. A lot.

I think Dominique Wilkins is a good comparison right now.

[insidehoops]

Mid 2Q: Knicks up 49-29. Pelicans 32% FG.

[stalkerforlife]

Zion has one of the worst shots I have ever seen.

But his athleticism is through the roof.

[bluechox2]

Mitch blocks Zion , dunks other end

[insidehoops]

Hope the Knicks give Mitchell Robinson serious minutes this season

[bobopenguin]

A transcendental talent Zion Williams.. lol... good luck pelicans.

[insidehoops]

End of first half: Knicks 56, Pelicans 49

Allonzo Trier 14 pts, 4 ast
Frank Jackson (Pelicans) 14 pts
Kevin Knox 12 pts, 4 reb
Zion Williamson 11 pts

Mitchell Robinson 6 pts, 7 reb, 3 blk

[qrich]

RJ is 3-8 from the field, 1-4 from the line.

A shooting guard that can't shoot. Sheesh

RJ doesn't have a position.

And if he did, it wouldn't be SG.

[insidehoops]

Per the Pelicans, Zion Williamson (left knee) took a knee-to-knee hit. He's done for the night.

[L8krH8tr]

Zion is overhyped . He will be lucky to even reach what Blake Griffin did. Maybe win a dunk contest and lose athleticism every year. He definitely will get in better shape I hope for the sake of his knees.

[oh the horror]

He does seem a bit heavy to me

He doesn't have a shot either.

Blake Griffin was one of the 10 best players in the league at his best...actually, he was probably higher than that to be honest.

If the Pels get a healthier version of Blake Griffin they will be thrilled.

I personally think he'll be a higher impact player at his best than Blake because I think Zion has a chance to be an elite defensive force in a way Griffin wasn't capable of.

I'm having Markelle Fultz flashbacks.... :facepalm

This Blake slander :facepalm

Even his last 1/2 season in a Clips uni, Griffin was playing solid, putting up 23/8/5 with respectable defense.

I'd take that in the league any day.

What?

I'm saying that Griffin was awesome and that the Pels would be absolutely thrilled if Zion turned out to be as good as Griffin.

What post did you read?

rj lookin like straight up asscheeks :ohwell:

Welp, meant it in the sense of everyone downplaying Zion's potential by saying he'll max out as a Blake. Not you. Was agreeing.


rj lookin like straight up asscheeks :ohwell:


Did you expect otherwise?

He's DeMar DeRozan without the mid range J.

[L8krH8tr]

Blake Griffin lost athleticism every year. They are saying Zion is the next Barkley

[insidehoops]

RJ Barrett now 4 of 17

[oh the horror]

Imagine paying that ticket price and Zion is shut down early? Wooof

[stalkerforlife]

Imagine a player like Jimmer being given the free reign a player like RJ will get for at least two years.

Jimmer would easily average 25.

And make no mistake about it, RJ will look to get up 20 shots a night

Zion has a good motor. He's getting into the lane in super speed.

They should just stop the game and evacuate, why not?

If thhe delay is this long... F it

[KOBEtherealKing]

Now Las Vegas knows what it feels to live in cali

[L8krH8tr]

Is it me or does Las Vegas seem to have a lot of unemployed wannabe Stunnaz who idolize guys like Future and Travis Scott.

[GimmeThat]

a thread about players who were on the same team and weren't national champs. I suppose the take away is one of them will be a MVP candidate

[RoseCity07]

Told yall Zion is gonna be a bust. Heard he got swatted 3 times today lmao.


He's 6-7. It was so obvious. The dude is just too little. He's going to get destroyed by pick and rolls.

[k0kakw0rld]

Dominated every level he played in. He has that "Mamba mentality". He is gonna be a star.

R.J. is too good I've been saying it. No way he will fail. He has the will to be better. If you believe R.J. will be a bust, you simply don't know nothing about BASKETBALL. HE IS GOING TO DOMINATE THE LEAGUE.
