Dwight Howard?

Plays nothing like Dwight Howard, so I'm confused?

Zion's freakishness as an athlete is kind of like Dwight in his prime, absolutely unstoppable, it's beautiful to watch.

But yea, Dwight is trying to look like Zion by driving from the top of the key, but not doing so well.

team is loaded with enough talent this season they could give some bottom-feeder NBA teams a run for their money.

I値l start following Duke if the Kings pick looks more likely to land one of their stars. Not now.

At this stage they're basically must see television. Their 4 freshman just crush everyone

Sacramento will be in the lottery which will give us a chance at a top 3 pick and with all our picks, we may be able to move up a few spots.  Who would have thought Donic would have been traded down a couple spots for a future protected pick.  Plus, it's nice to get a look at guys who will be significant players in the NBA soon.

Zion is like a hybrid of prime Barkley and prime Shawn Kemp, at least at the college level. The game has really changed since those guys and we値l see if Zion has near that kind of NBA success.

He moves so fast and it's not just his sprinting and jumping.  It will be interesting how his game translates to the NBA.  Although if he's not on the Celtics, I'm hoping he signs with the Patriots as a pass rusher.   :)
