Chris Haynes thinks Zion's a ’can’t passover’ prospect for the No. 1 pick | NBA | SPEAK FOR YOURSELF

On which team do you think Zion fits best on?

[@jordygoat]

Mavericks

[@Psycho_Logical_631]

LA Sparks

[@mdj2188]

Hawks

[@wjatube]

Duke....anywhere but the NBA-level as he will learn real fast that being a man among other men is not as easy unless you have length, quickness and a shot.

[@jamescalixte8160]

Chicago

[@stuartperry8141]

I am little older than MJ, I watched Mark Aguire, Ralph Sampson, Isiah Thomas in college, I had no idea coming into the NBA MJ would so much better than the other players I just mentioned. I never heard of Scottie Pippen or Dennis Rodman in college because of the poor colleges they went to and they are both are Hall of Famers. My point being playing longer in college is no guarantee of NBA success.

[@djuanblue8072]

Most teams need an athlete. Someone who can just go get a stop or bucket. Plenty of players who can't do either one. Celtics have players. Spurs have players. Houston has players. My point is athletes get good players over the top. You need both.

[@Jrock420blam]

Melo was the better player over LeBron initially but LeBron being the better athlete allowed him to completely eclipse Melo several times over as he developed. You can develop into a better player but you can't just become more athletic.

Melo was never a better player than LeBron. Melo was a more individually skilled basketball player, but LeBron was better all around player in court vision, defense, playmaker in 2003. @@Jrock420blam

[@Iaintsayinnothin..]

1. Zion is a great basketball player, not just an athlete if you actually understand basketball, plays, and especially post scoring... you would know 2. He can shoot (no OBVIOUSLY he's not Curry but his shot is definitely respectable, again casuals wouldn't know this) 3. He doesn't need to lose weight, but he shouldn't become any heavier. 4. Comparisons to Lebron are silly outside of an athletic standpoint, they have completely different playing styles 5. Zion will be more than fine in the league, just ask Julius Randle.

I think the difference between Lebron and Zion is Zion overwhelms you with his athleticism. While at the same age Lebron overwhelmed you with his athleticism, skill level and maturity of the game at such a young age.

College basketball and NBA are two different games. Giving players more practice at NBA style basketball would make them better but staying in college will only get someone so much better. They will still have to adjust to the NBA style of play.

[@shep5x561]

Audri Williams overall he is , Zion just has a bigger impact

[@cyber6sapien]

Barrett is not better than Zion bro!

[@lawreneph]

Rj is too laid back and passive. He has great intangibles but I'm concerned about his drive and aggression. Ja Morant looks to be very special. You can see him getting better even now. Zion can be as great as he wants to be. He just has to keep working on his game. There are many guys who were not what they are today had they not worked hard. Curry,Westbrook Harden, to be exact.

[@audriwilliams7943]

After watching both of them play o stick to what I said. RJ has horrible shot selection rushes the game rushes his shots. Zion is more efficient and plays smarter basketball. RJ has one speed

[@olmandigo]

[@PharaohLawLess1]

I'm gonna break down who Zion is right now. Zion did NOT become the Alpha dog of Duke until the last 2 games of the NCAA Tournament. He deferred to RJ 80% of the time. To rate the top 3 draft pick on who has the most Alpha Dog in them is 1) RJ Barret (2)Ja Morant (3)Zion has the least Alpha in him between those 3. I'm not saying he doesn't have Alpha in him, he just has no problem deferring to another teammate which makes him the ultimate teammate. That's really why Zion doesn't want to go to a Pelicans team that doesn't have AD, Jrue Holiday nor Julius Randle. The Pelicans will rebuild starting with him and Zion doesn't want that pressure. Zion would love to play with KD and Kyrie and be the 3rd wheel in that cog and not all that pressure on him. Remember......RJ just declared himself the best player of this draft. If the Pelicans want to build on a corner stone RJ Barret has the mindset to handle that pressure by himself. So trade Zion to my Knicks....mm the Knicks and get a future pick and mane Kevin Knox. ......before Zion gives yall the Kobe ultimatum to the Hornets

[@pfunk1992]

Staks hit it on the head. Zion has to lose some WEIGHT and develop an effective jump shot. It doesn't have to be perfect but threaten for ppl to have to guard out in the perimeter. He has lose some weight. His first endorsement deal.... Get a house, nice car, and a chef to help you eat right and lose weight. He needs to be at least 250lbs

Lebron did not come into the league polished. Lebron couldn't shoot and wasn't that great of a finisher around the rim. Zion is a better finisher around the basket. Lebron is a better passer, but Zion can pass also.

[@sandradavis3134]

The talent overall would be better. I'm seeing more and more very average ball players coming into the league. No idea of how to play defense and no idea of anything other than jacking up shots. My problem with a lot of these players is that all of them aren't Kobe, they're not Stacks. They're average to below. And as a fan, you're charging me money for their sophomore and junior year.

[@wjatube]

Zion will be a BUST. He lacks the length to dominate vs men and he is coming into the league at Lebron's height but at fat Lebron's 34 year old weight. Unless he loses 20 pounds he will not have a long career at the NBA level.
