Best Player Comparison for Zion?

[RRR3]

I’m just including the names I’ve heard him compared to and/or people I think can be compared to him. I haven’t seen a lot of these players play tbh so I’m just picking Shaq because I think Zion will be that level of dominant inside.

[Gohan]

Other his fg% reminds me of iverson if iverson didn’t miss shots on purpose

OP shouldn't you be spending the lions share of your free time volunteering at a soup kitchen or finding other ways to help the less fortunate? Aren't you a communist?

Why are you so heavily invested in watching millionaires perform for billionaires in between commercials for Pepsi and Pfizer and Bank of America?

You literally cry that everyone else isn't trying hard enough to overthrow capitalism :lol yet you spend more time than anyone enjoying the fruits of other people's free market labor.


Ultimate dumb lazy hypocritical turd.

I always think of it as if Shaq and Barkley had a baby

[Airupthere]

Closest single player is granmama. Similar built but zion is stronger and bigger.

No one cares about your Clonkerson fetish.

Why doesn't OP care about his comrades in need??

How can someone so seemingly concerned about the welfare of strangers continue to sit here and discuss the Corporate Basketball Association for hours on end, day after day??

WHY isn't he focused on getting out and helping in whatever ways he can!?

WHERE is his socialist spirit!?

OP, please. We need answers!

I don't really think he has a comparison with any other player really. He has his own skill set that differs a lot from the players mentioned in the OP.

He has his own uniqueness.

Larry Johnson and Barkley in my opinion... shoots like Larry , and dunks like Barkley ...
If he plays better defense , I think he could be a top 5 in the league.

[the mesiah]

This years Julius Randle

[light]

It's none of those dudes.

The answer is Dominique Wilkins.

Fat Nique.

[RRR3]

This years Julius Randle
Randle isn’t a great athlete though.

[ZionDunks]

This years Julius Randle

Did you see Julius Randle play his rookie year? Zion is still within his first 82 games.

[L8krH8tr]

Why does there have to always be comparisons? There is nobody like him. Barkley wasn't even close to as explosive at that size. Kemp had way less mass.

[dankok8]

Probably Larry Johnson with a bit of Barkley.

[ZionDunks]

If they were a hair better and leaned on him like they should he would be in the mvp convo already. He’s at 28 or 30 entering most 4Q.

Hope he keeps playing like this

I think Jay Will gave an awesome comparison. Zion is looking like a mix of Chuck and Nique to me right now. Chuck was the LAST player in the league at 270+ pounds (his rookie year) who that that type of handles and explosiveness as an undersized (height wise) PF. BOTH can function as a point power forward type of player. So for those reasons, Chuck HAS to be a comp.

But Zion's explosiveness off two hops, the tip dunks, alleyoops, and spin moves slashing to the rack remind me of Dominique. His rebounding ability is MORE IN LINE with a young Nique. Zion isn't a great rebounder like Chuck yet. He's getting 7 boards a night like Nique. Larry Johnson back in the day was sort of a mix of Barkley and Nique as well.

BUT if Zion wants to reach that MVP level of player, I still think his attributes will be like an evolved version of Barkley. At that size, power, explosiveness, and all around ability, that's the best comp. BUT athletic ability wise,his brand does remind me of a supersized Nique. So Barkley, Nique, and LJ mix for me!

For real. Him and Morant. Truly unique and hard to compare. Like you can add others like Kenyon Martin with his bounciness. Or a thick shorter David Robinson. A more agile Barkely. Motor like Sprewell. One of the most unique players I have ever seen.

[k0kakw0rld]

In the beginning it was Barkley. But they don't play the same. Zion plays "bully ball" and if it was not for his superior athleticism it will be just another guy.

The way he plays today is Blake Griffin 2.0

The barkley comparison is dead already. Chuck averages 22 points per game as well as 11 rebounds per game
