Pels really on form lately with the truth of Favors. Ingram having the season of his life, Zo starting to ball, the kids getting more minutes, Zion back soon. Exciting times in NO.

I'm not sure that Zion is going to be as great as everyone taught he was. His style and his size mean he'll probably never play a full season, I'd be surprised if he's still in the league in 5 years.

I don't think he'll ever do 82 games but I think he'll have a long and distinguished NBA career. He just may have to change his playstyle eventually like Blake Griffin did.

Maybe if he changes his style but he'll not last too long if he stays with his current aggressive style.

I’m not sure we can really judge yet as we’ve never seen anyone with his physique before in the NBA.

Sean Kemp is probably the closest.

Grizzlies are flying this year with a nice youthful core. Ja Morant 100% wins ROTY award.

raptors winning gives me hope that everton can win a trophy this season

Lebron is almost 35, he won't factor during the season and he's a huge risk during the playoffs too

This is looking like a good shout

Sean Kemp is probably the closest.

Do you mean fat Sean Kemp? I thought he played lighter when he was young. I think Zion is a stretched out Chuck Barkley. Then again, NBA bodies are deceptive in their size. Jokic is 7ft/284, but he's so fat I have a hard time believing he's in the 280 range.

Drew’s back.

GSW in the good chance bracket you had a right mare there haha.

Drew’s back.

I thought he was getting shoulder surgery?

I think if Steph and D'Lo were healthy, they had a chance. But they're worse than advertised, or were, even with both.

That said, GSW is in lottery territory now and that's scary for next year. I think they find a big/wing that can slide in with D and give good minutes and they build up the shot--a kid like Culver or Thybulle--because they already have guards and shooters. GSW will be the top team in the league next year if they add a gem like this and get their big 4 healthy again. It's criminal what they'll do to the league with a "gap season" like this.

Even both reckon they'd be stuck. Still a class call for the champ. I know their record is good but really don't think Lakes are all that.
