    I'm gonna guess at the time he was smack-dab in-between. People who have met him in recent years claiming he is 6'4 are probably right, as becoming overweight combined with natural aging you certainly would shrink some. But to say he was 6'4 in his playing days is over-the-top stupid. Just old-heads that think their era is the GOAT era.

    That pic would be in shoes which is about a inch and a half taller.

    i don't think he was 6'4 but closer to 6'5

    1 1/2" still puts him between 6'5.5 and 6'6.5

    His pre draft height without shoes was 6'43/4 and we don't know if that height chart is accurate.

    When he came out nobody was claiming they were shorter than they actually were.

    i think he was shorter than 6'6 his listed height.

    Zion looks like a better version of Larry Johnson. LJ was awesome at his best.

    It seems he can't shoot the three after all. 16% right now. And I'm not even talking about the NBA three.

    Those other areas will suffer if he's such a liability shooting from the perimeter.

    Not really. He doesn’t need to be some sharpshooter to be good. Giannis still can’t shoot a 3 and he’s absolutely dominant. Neither can Simmons

    Duke’s Zion Williamson should ‘shut it down’ until NBA draft, says Scottie Pippen

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/spor...t-says-scottie-pippen/?utm_term=.e74433f90ecf

    Spoken like a true quitter.

    I think we should send a reporter to the Duke press conference to ask Zio what he thinks about the Houston Cougars. If they respond with respect, we get more street cred. If they respond with "who" we have bulletin board material for the NCAA title game. It's a no lose situation.

    I always forget about this forum - Zion should spend 4 years at Duke so he's ready for the NBA.

    Zion would have to cut 20 pounds to fight as a UFC heavyweight right now -- THICC.

    I am not sold on this kid.
    In the modern NBA, being freakishly athletic is not as important as being able to shoot.
    Give me a Durant/Harden/PG sorta player.

    And knowing the Knicks are most likely going to draft him, he will be a bust.
