    I was looking forward to seeing him go up against Lebaby Jerk. It's a shame, I hope he recovers because I'd like to see King Jerk get dunked on. I'd just like to see Lebaby Jerk try to stop a healthy Zion.

    280 pounds and jumps higher than David Thompson did. that's unprecedented freakiness, but it's also a perfect storm for turning a knee into shrapnel. in college the guy completely blew out a shoe for crying out loud -- something i had never in my life seen before.

    if i was in the Pels org i would implore him to lose some weight

    you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet

    Fat shaming is not allowed in modern society and you have now been assigned to work camp #73.

    Don't worry Lebaby Jerk is on his way out.

    After the shoe blowout he was lucky to make it to the NBA. Probably a short career but plenty of money as a consolation.

    he is definitely carrying too much weight for his knees/hips/ankles to support for a long career. He has had knee injuries in every level he has played at: high school, college and Pro.

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    I know being around many Knick fans, I told th em that winning the lottery meant NOT gettin the first pick.

    Zion Williamson has an upside of Blake Griffin - which is very high - but I can’t see him being a true franchise player.

    I thought, if I had the 1st pick, I would have taken RJ Barrett. I think his game could translate very well to the pros.

    Good call - Barrett & Morant have started strong and most importantly - stayed healthy

    will he ever play?
