PurplePride92 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 IMO this is Duke’s biggest win of the season so far. Winning a game against one of the best teams in the country without Tre Jones is a big deal. On to the next one. Pittsburgh won’t be an easy game.

The Professor Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I realize Duke has several great players but Zion Williamson is beyond phenomenally good. I’ve seen him compared to a cross between Larry Johnson and Charles Barkley. That’s probably a good comparison. It’s simply amazing that a guy his size has the quickness and vertical leaping ability—-and stamina—-that he has. He’ll be number one in the draft for sure and will be a star in the league for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlDog75 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I’m not sure who to compare him to. I haven’t seen anyone like him for real. He’s so damn good. The kid is fun to watch and I keep forgetting just how young he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBWC41 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I’m not sure who to compare him to. I haven’t seen anyone like him for real. He’s so damn good. He’s so much better than I thought he was going to be. I thought he was strictly a highly athletic guy with an average skill set. I was very wrong. I don’t care much for Duke but Zion is so much fun to watch. Seems like a decent kid too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of Reason Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 LeBron? Is that what Lebron would have looked like as a college freshman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugatti Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 LeBron? Is that what Lebron would have looked like as a college freshman? No. LeBron was much more fluid. Zion is a physical monster. Probably 50 lbs more than LeBron at that age. Zion would be the second heaviest player in the NBA today. He is Julius Randle cross-pollinated with the Incredible Hulk.

His butt is even wider than Tractor Traylor's was when he was in college... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All State Baseball Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Huh?!!???! I like Zion too but let's pump the brakes just a little? Better than Lebron? I would take him over LeBron any day. Every day. All Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
