This was pretty eye opening for the comparison, especially when you think about the fact that Zion's game is much more well rounded than Randle's and the fact that he's more explosive, if he gets the same sort of looks, he's going to be eating defenses alive, especially with Lonzo feeding him the ball. If that Pelicans team gets some good shooters, they'll be in for a pretty quick rebuild.

I think Zion can be very good but just a reminder of what AD has accomplished. 3x block champ 3x All-NBA 3x All-Defense 6x All-star And not to mention has finished in the top 5 in defensive player of the year and MVP multiple times. Oh yea and averages 26 12 and 4 for his career.... at 26. I think it’s unlikely that Zion becomes that just because THAT is so rare.

The one thing I didnt like about this video is I don't think you spent enough time on how his teammates can help his game. Lonzo and Jrue in particular in transition or halfcourt will get Zion off ball where his athletic frame can best be used to make athletic plays. Yes you touched on it a little but I would have loved to have seen how he would function with those 2 and BI both in halfcourt and transition. Also you didn't speak much on his defense. Would have loved some insight on how you think his defense will hold up against the very best the league has to offer.

I think the Pelicans can be a really fun team to watch. Jrue and Lonzo make up one of the best defensive backcourts in recent memory. They have 2 very good playmakers in Lonzo and Jrue and Randle can handle ut and make passes from the elbow. They are gonna be very good in transition. Im a bit concerned about Randle having to play the center position. Okafor can play some minutes there but u want Zion and Randle on the floor a lot and neither guy can play SF. Maybe Zion can play SF if they slide Ingram to the bench

Zion is an elite leaper and very explosive in short area but he is kinda slow as a runner. I definitely think he needs to trim some baby fat. He could stand to lose 15-25 lbs. I think ge would be much faster if he dropped some of that excess weight. His handle just doesnt look like its gonna be effective in the NBA. He stares at the ball when dribbling. He doesn't look natural pusding the ball like a Ben Simmons or Giannis. Both of those guys are much taller and much faster in the open court.

They better not forget Anthony Davis! His level of play while in New Orleans, combined with his trade request, is what made it possible for the Pelicans to get all those pieces back in return. AD could have stayed the course and not said anything about being unhappy. Then leave the Pelicans high and dry in free agency, like what KD did to OKC. After the AD trade, now the Pelicans will have talented pieces to build around Zion, something they never managed to do for AD.

@@TheAmpharosFreak Nobody said it was gonna be easy period for Zion whether he has shooters around him or not. There is a learning process that he has to learn with the speed of the game and being able to gel with his new teammates. It is a better situation for him because of the efforts of the Pelicans new front office to try and put as much as they can around him and they are not finished. They have found a couple of guys who shoot the ball at a high level behind the arc that not to many people know about. Langford who came over from the Brooklyn Nets has a good eye for talent as he showed with the Nets. Griffin is doing a great job of letting him know this will be a team effort and that he will not be asked to be some type of saviour. Things will work out just have to be patient.

What's his wingspan, hand size, and hand span. If amazing, he can start developing the game of Kawhi. 6'7'', using power to get to his spot, pull mid-range shots, and be a good perimeter defender. That will make zion move to the SF or SG, which would be good for his career.

Theres no way he can be on AD or Bron level until he proves durability and everything else will come with it. But AD body and offense was already light years ahead of Zion in the same year. I think Zion will be able to live up to expectations once he hits his 4th year with proper care of his body.

The only way this Pelicans team will make their fans forget AD is if they can keep this young core together, with little tweaks, for five years or more AND if (this is a big if) Zion can remain healthy. I’m not sold in Zion being so awesome (he hasn’t faced players who have more skills, brains and size) but he is a solid player. He will grow and he is already a big boy so if he grows more he will be straining his legs, knees and ankles. I’m not sure they can hold up.

As soon as I heard of the trade, I said it sounds like there could be a big 3 in Orleans in a couple of years. But let's be real, all these players will need a lot of development. As Zion stands now, he will be great in the regular season, but as soon as the post season hits and teams stop taking defense off, he won't be nearly as effective, ask Giannis and Simmons about that reality.

@@dhartley98 the media, especially ESPN, spent this entire 2018-19 season talking about Zion all the time, hyping him up, thousands of people purchased season tickets for the Pelicans because of him. I don't think any kind of management can stop the people talking about him, whether it's positive or not. And media shapes the narrative. In the eye of the media you can be star in one moment and an absolute bust in the next. He's like 18 or 19, he doesn't need all these.

Same with Kobe, Shaq, KD, AD, Magic, Bird, Hakeem, MJ, Duncan.
