Im only one who thinks Zion will just be a decent player..very over hype..Anthony Bennett 2??

I now think of Montrezl Harrell and how effective he has been able to be this season as a 6-8 backup center.

26mpg = 16ppg, 6.7rpg, 2apg, 1.5bpg on 62% FG%

If Harrell is able to do that just imagine what Zion Williamson will be able to do given how much stronger and more athletic Zion is even as a limited offensive player skill-wise similar to Harrell who gets almost all his points in and around the paint.

Seeing how good Harrell has been able to be this season gives me added confidence in Zion being able to play center in the NBA.

Yep, and lots of people like to focus on his strength and jumping ability, but his body control, quickness in small spaces, great first step, quick 2nd and 3rd jumps, and straight out speed is just as impressive athletically.  He also has a very good feel for the game, great handle, good passer especially in transition, and a great teammate.
from what limited amount I've seen of him, Charles Barkley doesn't seem to be the best upside comparison for him but he seems more like an upside of Larry Johnson.  Big, muscular and very athletic with some skills.  Not that Barkley didn't have that but he was more of a bull in the paint and not quite as athletic.

He will be out for the rest of the year with that injury.

What would be really funny to me is if he plays the ASG but sits the whole year for New Orleans

I had AD in one of my fantasy leagues and traded him, no exaggeration, the day before he went out with that finger injury. Since then it's been a shoot show. I can't believe it.

I doubt AD will be in uniform in the ASG. But who will be his replacement?

Yeah I think Davis realizes now that this isn't good anyone. Probably done after the ASG.

 I had previously predicted a case of plantar fasciitis since it would be so hard for the NBA prove AD didn't have plantar fasciitis in case they decided to fight the doctor's diagnosis, but a shoulder injury can be so many different things so...that works too.

Either way, Davis decided things were going to be not so great for anyone if he is playing this year so time for an injury. Heck if Fultz can be out for 2 years because of an imbalanced scapula muscle, Davis should be able to be excused for a shoulder injury for 1/3 of the year.

That means his value should drop since he got injured. No need to offer Tatum in a package for him.

It really doesn't.

Anthony Davis isn't a used car at a local dealer.
