[QUOTE=Airupthere;14257830]Zion has the potential to be greater. He is physically more of a monster. But the mental aspect of it is what makes CB great. Zion has to prove himself first before we draw conclusions.[/QUOTE]
I think Chuck would kill Zion in a fight though - speaking of who is more of a physical monster. It's not just about ability but it's also about will.
[QUOTE=tpols;14257829]How are you going to be that burly and average only 7 boards a game? Chuck used to grab double that in an era where there were stronger rebounders. He's a different level of tough and motor.[/QUOTE]
21yo Barkley - 14, 8, 2 on 54%
20yo Zion - 25, 7, 2 on 61%
Being a drunk bar brawler doesn't = tough. Mentally unstable Chuck got picked on and had a quick temper. No one dares messing with Zion.

Barkley was always catching drunk assault charges, getting in bar fights with opposing fans at away games. Everyone knows that friend who gets beer muscles and always causes a scene. They aren't tough or sharp, most suffering PTSD childhood bullying (little man syndrome)

Williamson hasn't reached his prime yet, Barkley in his prime was a better jump shooter then Williamson is now
Barkley is a far superior contested shot-maker from all over the court because it was required in the no-spacing environment
Otoh, Zion isn't a skilled shot-maker because he doesn't have to be - he just needs to be fast like a running back, so he can hit the spaced-out gaps quickly enough to get the open layups
Today's game is a joke and the players are NOT good at basketball, nor are they even playing basketball... Open threes and layups (drive-and-kick, rinse repeat) is more of a technique than a sport
