Zion Williamson is such a beast


Frobby

Recommended Posts

Of course I’m a big Duke fan and very prejudiced, but to me Zion Williamson is the most entertaining collegiate player to come along in years.    6’8, 285 pounds of pure muscle and quick as a cat.    He combines the amazing athleticism in a huge body of Lebron James with the exuberance of Magic Johnson — just looks like he’s having fun all the time out there.    I’m not really putting his basketball skills on a par with Lebron or Magic, but that’s how he seems when competing against his college peers.    He’s going to be a fun guy to follow for years to come and a marketing bonanza for the NBA.    But first I want him to bring home an NCAA championship for Duke!

As a freshman in the 1977-78 season, Gene Banks helped lead Duke all the way to the National Championship game against Kentucky for the first time since 1964.

That just begins to tell his story, and his legacy.

First game back from his sprained knee: 13-for-13 from the floor, 14 rebounds, 5 steals. Six hellacious dunks ........ that was something to behold.

He might not have been going all out, either.

He may have been being somewhat cautious in only his first game back from a severely sprained knee.

He seemed a bit tired in the second half.   It will be interesting to see his energy level today against UNC.

    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
    • I have it on dvr and I timed it four times. I got 10.75, 10.80, 10.74, and 10.78.
    • This is exactly what EDC said tonight     
    • My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
