Zion Williamson enjoying Dook food
- Thread starter Smashcat

Put him in pick and rolls with Hagans, Quickley, Johnson, Travis, EJ and PJ and try to make Zion guard 20 feet out.
Would be hilarious to watch.

Picked up the “freshman 15” before class even starts. Good work, young man!
He's been around 300 lbs for a year now. That HS nba camp and duke are just being kind and lowering his listed weight.
Roids will do that for you if you dont live in the gym to work off the massive amounts of food it makes you hungry for.

Dude wears 300 lbs better than anyone if that’s the case.
Kid's knees are gonna blow out by 30, which is not good considering his game is all athleticism and minimal skill.
And all this, without access to Capel's crispy cream supply? Wow!
And Duke told Zion he would be playing the 3. Lol.
Duke is going to plant him on the block and tell him to stay while Reddish and Barrett control the ball. Zion will live to regret his decision and I'm betting he and his family are the next disgruntled Dukies.

From the looks of it, I don't think there is a food Zion doesn't enjoy. He is Fat Hami after all.
I think he will be good if not great PF. Obviously can jump, has long arms, some touch and his big ass will carve out space. once he throws up one too many bricks he will be parked in the paint and do fine.
No he doesn't. He looks like he needs to lose at least 40 pounds. Turns out that's literally the amount he needs to lose.
What did coach rat tell him, after he already had Cam and R.J. commits, that he would use him like Lebron.
That is rich.
I don’t know what is funnier, splinter had the nerve to sell that crap or Zion actually buying it.

Duke is gonna be playing zone again. I'd love to see him try to stay in front of quick wings.
Nah. Could probably lose a few pounds but I’m guessing he has pretty low body fat. Maybe needs to drop some muscle to get his weight down so it’s easier on his knees and feet. But people here acting like his got a beer belly or something lol.
What size sports bra will Nike furnish him? If they cant hook him up Kramerica Industries will be able to support him (pun intended)
Nike just unveiled this from the Zion collection.
It's amazing how dook lies to big men with regularity but still get 5* big man talent...
Stupid is as stupid does I guess...
Capel's duffel bags couldn't have hurt.
If they list him at 6'7" and 285 that means he is really about 6'6" and 300
He probably has to get a seatbelt extension on airplanes.
LeBron James is 270 pounds with very low body fat. He doesn't look 270 at all. Zion very much looks 285. His body fat% is almost certainly above 20%. To be effective he needs to be around 235 to 240.
If you are saying his Body fat % is under 20%...you are just plain delusional or dumb or obtuse; or all three...
Probably a little of all three. But why do you think it is higher. The dude doesn’t look anything resembling fat in any picture I have seen of him.
Williamson will be an interesting test case, to a certain extent. There is somewhat of a history of very large, fat or fattish players with surprising to shocking athleticism making a splash. Charles Barkley being the ultimate example (and Chuckles weight at Auburn got as high as 300), Draymond Green being a good current one.
I think it's a fine line. There very much is an advantage to a player being thicker and stronger than almost everyone trying to guard him (just look at LeBron), but also obvious downsides to carrying that much weight. And a big question with Williamson is how hard he's going to find it to keep the weight reasonable. It's just natural for people to add weight as they age, and Williamson is already at a point where he can't afford to do that.

At 285, Zion is going to have a hard time staying in front of PJ or Reid Travis, in my estimation
First 20% body fat or even a bit higher, does not make one "fat"... Most healthy, adult males are between 15% and 20%...Most elite athletes that are in good to great shape are usually around 9-13%...He is not an elite athlete, yet. He is not LBJ outa high school.
is this considered an extra benefit?

Didn't Alexander have like 5% at the combine? I don't think most NBA players have 10% body fat.
I’m aware of all that. I would consider him an elite athlete or very close to one at this point. But I disagree and would say 20% body fat is usually unhealthy from my perspective. I would never let myself get to that point.
some sites said less than that...
one of the biggest ever was
Chris Marcus, a 7'1", 300-lb., 23.1% body fat...
so, Zion is probably over 20%
He’s easily under 20% bf and just set the Duke record for vertical leap. Question his jumpshot or his level of high school competition because desperately hoping that he’s going to be fat and slow is a lost cause.
Dude is a Brickhouse, I've got no clue what fatness people are seeing. Huge? Oh yeah. Fat? Not seeing much of that.
