honestly, it's probably because the Pelicans have not had very much success. Although it sounds crazy, I know everyone wants N.O. to get rid of Lonzo, I think that if they got rid of B.I., and let ZO and Zion develop together, they could be a deadly combo.
Nah, I'd actually say he's properly rated. He's a top 15/20 player in the league. A definite all star but he also has his weaknesses. His defense, for example, is not good. He is one of the best offensive players in the league though and he'll keep getting better. Can't wait to see what kind of passes he'll be making in a few years once he gets better at reading the floor; he's already a much improved passer and ball handler than what we saw in his short rookie season
I want him to be the rare case where his body can just handle his weight and athleticism. If he can manage to stay with his current build and refine his midrange game, the league will be in good hands when Lebron retires
@@JamaicanMeCrazy he's been waddling like that that's just his gait. The NOLA trainers have already retooled his jumping and landing style so he doesn't end up hurting himself like D Rose
This kid is just so strong, he literally plows everyone out of his way. He jumps high too. Can't believe a 280 pounder has such a hang time. Gravity doesn't work anymore?
Just glad that we finally have an All-Star who dominates in the paint unlike the other big men who keep shooting threes (and I don't think it's a bad thing though).
obviously we all know hes a human train, and cant be stopped but his gentle finish game when he's coming from off angles and getting fouled is really impressive.
At his peak, he will be the most efficient player ever. This dude is already averaging 25 ppg on 62% shooting & the defense knows what's he's gonna do. He's gonna be SCARY once he goes right more & simply takes 3 jumpers a game.
They didn’t really even show him handling the ball too much and getting into space off the dribble, which he is also extremely good at. This dude is a freaking monster.
Lol at people who were saying that he would be a bust a few years ago when he was bullying high school players.Now he's bullying grown men in the NBA 😂😂
Have some respect. I bet Barkley had a similar vertical as Zions during his playing days. Barkley would do coast to coast dunks. Very quick leaper. Rebound king. Barkley blocked 7 footer shots. Charles Barkley was a beast with a very good midrange jumper and he could hit 3's. Barkley was also a very good defensive player when he wanted to be. Barkley had a lot of blocked shots. Zion is very good but I don't think he will ever be as good as Charles Barkley. scoring, rebounds, points etc.. Barkley played when each team had 2 or 3 seven foot centers. several of them now in HOF. he plays a fool on TNT but the guy was one of the best to ever do it. Barkley is way underrated because he did not win a chip as he played in Jordan era. Barkley was the best player on the dream team per MJ quote.
I've followed Basketball for some years . . This Child of God is Blessed . . He is a Mix of RIP Moses Malone/Darryl Dawkins, and to round it off Shawn Kemp and Maurice Cheeks. Barkley/Shaq , sorry I don't think so . . y'all not even in the same league.
Damn that's savage to Barkley and Shaq, I think you're underrating how good those dudes were. To me, Zion is MJ if he had smaller hands but was a more explosive athlete factoring in size. He'll never be a great defender but who cares in the modern NBA?
@@taylorh7581 I know was hard on them two but this Manster is something special he has handles his game only improves He's a couple of players from the Team being able to compete against the other Power Houses. I started watching Basketball back in the 70's when They Played with Bows and Fouls were part of the Game. I'm a Olajuwon Mj Fan . . .
Mt. Zion is a beast. I wonder if he can get some key pointers from LBJ. Not saying that he's not a threat but when you gain knowledge it'll be worst for other teams to guard him and can be fully unguardable
Zion plays Bully Ball but he does not have a mean streak. Seems strange to say that, but it is true. You never see anyone push or shove him after a play. He never openly embarrasses or disrespects anyone after a play. He scores, tosses the ball to the ref, and jogs to the other end of the court.
Those 46 dislikes are from the haters that said he was only successful in midde school, high school, and college because he was bigger than everyone else.
I never thought I'd say Zion is underrated
For real
yea wtf, its like they not paying him no attention

Tatum's face says it all 0:50
"Damn... ain't that a charge?.... No? No charge?... He just that strong?
Shit" 😂
The fact that he’s not in his prime yet is crazy
The crazy thing is Zion is still a rookie in terms of games played he hasn't even played a full season and he's an all star...
i mean ben smmons is technically a rookie he has never played a full season

This man is insane, he always goes left but you just cant stop him. GOAT potential, hopefully the Pels build a nice team around him
I feel like TV doesn't do justice to his size
I bet seeing that BIG dude live on court jumping that way will be simply unbelievable .
THIS KID IS IN GOD MODE IMAGINE IF HE SHOOTS THREES
@Zarnell Washington Are kidding? Zion has elite ball handling. How do you thing he drive to the hoop with such ease?
I pray to the Gods to keep him injury free
Still don’t get it how u 6’6” 284 jumping like that
Make it make sense
ong how does someone who weighs almost 300 pounds in muscle have a 44 inch vertical shits crazy
God's will lol
he is probably 6'5 since almost all nba players are built at about an inch over their actual height
Evolution
He is too big, too fast, too strong and too good!
Legend in the making
Zion just built different
So much power and yet so much finesse. He's a freak of nature.
Just glad that we finally have an All-Star who dominates in the paint unlike the other big men who keep shooting threes (and I don't think it's a bad thing though).
Um, Giannis antetokounmpo
What's severely underrated is his finesse in finishing shots around the basket
When you get an extra 5 seconds in the air it helps
obviously we all know hes a human train, and cant be stopped but his gentle finish game when he's coming from off angles and getting fouled is really impressive.
Love this kid. Badass young man. I'm all in. Wishing him much success

I’m so excited specially with all the pieces they added this offseason 🙃
