Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 2816100, member: 1329"] Yes I should addend: "More like more athletic Julius Randle with a worse post game, [I]but much better transition game, better passing, and somewhat better handle.[/I]" He's similar height (although down an inch or two), even 20 pounds heavier than Randle. But with probably 4+ inches higher vertical (Randle has respectable 36"). The "RB Speed Score"-esque implications of that are obvious. I'll admit, the lefty power face up game in the half court at similar height makes the comparison somewhat easy (and maybe lazy). Zion tends to start further out to the perimeter, while Randle starts more on the block or elbow. Zion's only post move is currently "jump over and dunk on defender". It's unsurprisingly effective at converting or drawing a staggering amount of fouls. Zion dunks more, but Randle had the 18th most dunks out of the ~470ish players in the NBA last year, so again, the comparison is there. Main difference is definitely Zion is better in transition both with or without the ball in his hands and isn't a black hole with the ball (Randle had 1 good passing year 2 years ago). Zion's jumper is not very confident at all yet. He can make it, but it's close to luck at this point. [/QUOTE]
