You say that as if rebounds have no value. Chuck was fucking awesome. I'm also an old school Suns fan.
 
Chuck was a monster all things considered. I have him in my top 25. I am just not sure Zion is a great comp for him since Chuck rebounded like he was a foot taller than he was, whereas Zion is more perimeter oriented and, at least at Duke, looked the part of an elite defender. If Zion is able to stay healthy and put everything together, he may make top 25 too.
 
If Zion stays healthy and in shape for a decade he’s going to have a hall of fame career. That dude is ridiculous when right. It’s a HUGE IF…but the Zion takes in here are a little wild. He’s good enough to become one of the best in the game when healthy.
Dude averaged 27 ppg on 65% TS his second year in the league lol. I’m not sure how many seasons there are in NBA history where a guy averaged both a higher scoring volume and higher efficiency than that, and this came from a 20 year old who still wasnt in ideal shape.

It’s the popular thing to shit in Zion now, but people downplaying his actual ability when healthy are crazy. There aren’t many players in the history of the league with more talent than Williamson.

Yes...but we're not far from "other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?" territory.

The issue is his weight, and as long as he's playing at that weight, he's not going to be healthy consistently. Is there any objective sign that he has dropped a significant amount of weight, and take conditioning more seriously?
 
Barkley was also are completely uninterested defender. He rebounded hunted like 2014 Kevin love. Turned his back to the defender to hunt rebounds.
Of course. When the ball is in the air you turn your back to the defender and box them out.

I may have missed it but are there any player options or is he locked up for the full 5 years?
