99% of the times he gets blocked is from help-side defenders or from behind out of his line of sight. 1 on 1 he sons everyone because he uses his body to shield them off. Even AD and Giannis have only blocked him bringing help while he was about to score 1v1

Looks like Zion could probably evolve his post game more since he is much stronger than Blake Griffin and should only get even more powerful in 5-7 years when he reaches his prime.

We have stats for dunking, he's not dunking more than Giannis/Dwight/Gobert/peak DeAndre Jordan/Blake Griffin. But he is scoring in the paint more than most of them with absurd efficiency. He currently has 58 dunks in 29 games, roughly 164 dunks in a season. Gobert peaked at 306, Giannis peaked at 279 (in 72 games). DeAndre Jordan peaked at 253. Dwight peaked at 269.

More than Dwight ? I memba one season at the all star break Dwight had more dunks than a whole conference

@noobestofdamall 3 года назад

Stupid clickbait title. It even says in 6:36, what's he leading the league in is in dunks + LAYUPS, and anyone who watches him plays knows that he mostly goes for layups near the rim. (and is incredible at them even with 4 defenders all over him) ESPN deliberately lied for a clickbait title while citing a misleading stat: dunks + LAYUPS. We have stats for dunking, he's not dunking more than Giannis/Dwight/Gobert/peak DeAndre Jordan/Blake Griffin. But he is scoring in the paint more than most of them with absurd efficiency. Zion currently has 58 dunks in 29 games, roughly 164 dunks in a season. Gobert peaked at 306, Giannis peaked at 279 (in 72 games). DeAndre Jordan peaked at 253. Dwight peaked at 269. Griffin peaked at 214.

@@noobestofdamall I get it I guess it’s still amazing for Zion cuz he’s doing the same things as 7 ft plus centers

@noobestofdamall 3 года назад

@@billwalter5092 Yea! Hope I didn't come off as being too aggressive towards you, I was mainly criticizing ESPN. It's actually even more impressive that he's doing it off unassisted layups. It pretty much means he's getting to the rim and finishing at will.

@work4whatyouwant477 3 года назад

Man I legitimately wondered where Zion would fit position wise in the NBA. Doesn't even matter. This dude is BEAST in the paint. His touch around the rim for his size and strength is next level. He's not Lebron but his touch for his size is something we haven't seen since Lebron. Left hand, right hand, through contact, doesn't matter. It's crazy.
